For Eternal Beginners
न मे पार्थ अस्ति कर्तव्यम् त्रिषु लोकेषु किन्चन ।
न अनवाप्तम् अवाप्तव्यम् वर्ते एव च कर्मणि ॥ २२ ॥
na me pArtha asti kartavyam triSu lokeSu kincana |
na anavAptam avAptavyam varte eva ca karmaNi || 22 ||
पार्थ
[pArtha]
Arjuna, न मे
[na me]
I have no किन्चन कर्तव्यम्
[kincana kartavyam]
duties at all त्रिषु लोकेषु
[triSu lokeSu]
in any of the three worlds. न
[na]
There is nothing that अनवाप्तम्
[anavAptam]
I do not possess, अवाप्तव्यम्
[avAptavyam]
neither is there anything that I must obtain. वर्ते एव च
[varte eva ca]
Even then, I am always involved कर्मणि
[karmaNi]
in performing action.
Though the Lord isn’t bound to any duty or purpose, He stays active to reassure us.
I, Krishna, am the master of everything; I have everything that I desire; I know everything; My purpose is always fulfilled; I take any form, either that of a god or of an ordinary human; I act independently according to My will in the entire universe.
There are absolutely no duties imposed on Me. Even then, I am always in action to reassure all the people of the world.
