the ONE continued.....

the footprints of the best
carves the path for the rest
on physical, mental or spiritual
for the ONE
there is no duty, no job
that needs to be done
nothing to gain, nothing to lose
and yet see how each moment
participation I choose!
If I dont act carefully,
the people for whom
I am an example
would slack and fall through!
lethargy and delusion
would become the rule,
leading to disaster
if i dont do what i take up
on myself to do

just as the unwise act restlessly,
with feverishness and self-centered passion
with as much intensity,
but with awareness,
and with clear focus,
act !
work with enthusiasm, benevolence and dispassion

Dr. Ramanand Prasad's version

King Janaka and others attained perfection (or Self-realization) by Karma-yoga alone. You should perform your duty (with apathetic frame of mind) with a view to guide people and for the universal welfare (of the society). (3.20)

Because, whatever noble persons do, others follow. Whatever standard they set up, the world follows. (3.21)

O Arjuna, there is nothing in the three worlds (earth, heaven, and the upper regions) that should be done by Me, nor there is anything unobtained that I should obtain, yet I engage in action. (3.22)

Because, if I do not engage in action relentlessly, O Arjuna, people would follow My path in every way. (3.23)

These worlds would perish if I do not work, and I shall be the cause of confusion and destruction of all these people. (3.24)

As the ignorant work, O Arjuna, with attachment (to the fruits of work), so the wise should work without attachment, for the welfare of the society. (3.25)
