सर्वारम्भेषु निष्कामो यश्चरेद्बालवन्मुनिः । न लेपस्तस्य शुद्धस्य क्रियमाणेऽपि कर्मणि ॥
sarvārambheṣu niṣkāmo yaścaredbālavanmuniḥ | na lepastasya śuddhasya kriyamāṇe'pi karmaṇi ||
The sage who moves like a child, free of desire in all his undertakings, is pure; no stain clings to him even in the work being done.
जो मुनि सभी कार्यों में निष्काम रहकर बालक की तरह विचरता है, उस शुद्ध पुरुष पर कर्म करते हुए भी कोई लेप नहीं लगता।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
A child plays fully without carrying the game around afterwards. Working with that freshness, without anxious scheming, leaves no residue of stress or guilt.
बच्चा पूरे मन से खेलता है और बाद में खेल का बोझ नहीं ढोता। उसी सहजता से, बिना चिंता-भरी गणना के काम करें, तो तनाव या अपराध-बोध की परत नहीं जमती।
Ashtavakra, continuing his final teaching to Janaka on the person of steady wisdom, says the sage who acts like a child, without desire in any undertaking, is untouched by the work he does.
