श्रेयो हि ज्ञानमभ्यासाज्ज्ञानाद्ध्यानं विशिष्यते ।
ध्यानात्कर्मफलत्यागस्त्यागाच्छान्तिरनन्तरम् ॥
ध्यानात्कर्मफलत्यागस्त्यागाच्छान्तिरनन्तरम् ॥
हिन्दी अनुवाद
अभ्याससे शास्त्रज्ञान श्रेष्ठ है, शास्त्रज्ञानसे ध्यान श्रेष्ठ है और ध्यानसे भी सब कर्मोंके फलका त्याग श्रेष्ठ है । कर्मफलत्यागसे तत्काल ही परमशान्ति प्राप्त हो जाती है ॥
English
Knowledge is better than practice; meditation is better than knowledge. Renouncing the fruits of action is better than meditation, and peace follows at once from renunciation.
श्लोक का अर्थ
Practice, study, and meditation all help, but letting go of personal reward is even higher. That release brings immediate calm.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On Kurukshetra, Arjuna is still frozen between duty and grief. Krishna narrows the path step by step: practice, then understanding, then meditation, and finally the deepest release — giving up the fruits of action. That is where peace begins.
आज के संदर्भ में
You send the hard message, then keep checking your phone for the reaction. The mind burns in that waiting. This verse points to the relief of doing what is right and leaving the outcome alone.
सार
You do not have to earn peace by forcing control; it comes when grasping ends.
