Transform karma into karma yoga - 38-41
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 38
Sukha dukha same kritva labha alabho jaya ajayau I
Tatah yuddhaya yujyasva na evam papam avapsyasi II sloka 38
सुख दुख समे कृत्वा लभ अलभो जय अजयौ ।
ततः युद्दाय युजस्व न एवं पापं अवाप्स्यसि ।। श्लोक ३८
Holding pleasure & pain, gain & loss, victory & defeat as alike, grid yourself up for battle. Thus you shall not incur any sin.
Thus knowing the self to be eternal, different from the body and untouched by all corporeal qualities, remaining unaffected by pleasure and pain resulting from the weapon strokes etc., inevitable in a war, as also by gain and loss of wealth, victory and defeat, and keeping yourself free from attachment to heaven and such other fruits, begin the battle considering it merely as your own duty. Thus, you will incur no sin. Here sin means transmigratory existence which is misery. The purport is that you will be liberated from the bondage of transmigratory existence.
