अभ्यासेऽप्यसमर्थोऽसि मत्कर्मपरमो भव । मदर्थमपि कर्माणि कुर्वन्सिद्धिमवाप्स्यसि ॥ १० ॥
abhyāse ’py asamartho ’si mat-karma-paramo bhava mad-artham api karmāṇi kurvan siddhim avāpsyasi
Translation
If you are unable even to practise, then make work for Me your highest aim. Even by doing actions for My sake, you will attain perfection.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यदि तुम अभ्यास में भी असमर्थ हो, तो मेरे लिए कर्म करने को ही परम लक्ष्य बना लो। मेरे लिए कर्म करते हुए भी तुम सिद्धि प्राप्त करोगे।
Commentary
The third rung needs no special meditation at all: simply do your everyday work as an offering to God. Service, worship, duties carried out "for My sake" (mad-artham) can themselves lead to perfection. This makes the spiritual life open to anyone, whatever their temperament.
