Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 18, Verse 46

Moksha Sanyasa Yoga

यतः प्रवृत्तिर्भूतानां येन सर्वमिदं ततम् । स्वकर्मणा तमभ्यर्च्य सिद्धिं विन्दति मानवः ॥ ४६ ॥

yataḥ pravṛittir bhūtānāṁ yena sarvam idaṁ tatam sva-karmaṇā tam abhyarchya siddhiṁ vindati mānavaḥ

Translation

By worshipping, through their own work, the One from whom all beings arise and by whom all this is pervaded, a person attains perfection.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जिस परमेश्वर से सब प्राणियों की उत्पत्ति हुई है और जिससे यह सारा जगत व्याप्त है, उसकी अपने स्वाभाविक कर्मों द्वारा पूजा करके मनुष्य सिद्धि को प्राप्त होता है।

Commentary

This is one of the most important verses for everyday spiritual life: sva-karmana tam abhyarchya, "worshipping Him through one's own work." A teacher's teaching, a farmer's farming, a nurse's care and a parent's parenting, offered to God, become worship. Work itself becomes puja.
