Sārathi

What you're facing

I'm burnt out

Five verses to read slowly, in this order.

  1. 3.19

    तस्मादसक्तः सततं कार्यं कर्म समाचर।
    असक्तो ह्याचरन्कर्म परमाप्नोति पूरुषः ॥

    tasmād asaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ karma samāchara
    asakto hyācharan karma param āpnoti pūruṣhaḥ

    Therefore, without attachment, always perform the actions that should be done; for by performing actions without attachment, one reaches the Supreme.
  2. 5.10

    ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः।
    लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥

    brahmaṇyādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ
    lipyate na sa pāpena padma-patram ivāmbhasā

    He who does actions, offering them to Brahman and abandoning attachment, is not tainted by sin, just as a lotus leaf is not tainted by water.
  3. 6.16

    नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः।
    न चातिस्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन ॥

    nātyaśhnatastu yogo ’sti na chaikāntam anaśhnataḥ
    na chāti-svapna-śhīlasya jāgrato naiva chārjuna

    Verily, Yoga is not possible for him who eats too much, nor for him who does not eat at all, nor for him who sleeps too much, nor for him who is always awake, O Arjuna.
  4. 6.17

    युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु।
    युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा ॥

    yuktāhāra-vihārasya yukta-cheṣhṭasya karmasu
    yukta-svapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā

    Yoga becomes the destroyer of pain for him who is moderate in eating and recreation (such as walking, etc.), who exercises moderation in action, and who is moderate in sleep and wakefulness.
  5. 2.50

    बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते।
    तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥

    buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛita-duṣhkṛite
    tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśhalam

    Endowed with wisdom and evenness of mind, one casts off in this life both good and evil deeds; therefore, devote yourself to Yoga; Yoga is skill in action.
