Bhagavad Gita 18.9
कार्यमित्येव यत्कर्म नियतं क्रियतेऽर्जुन।सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलं चैव स त्यागः सात्त्विको मतः॥
kāryam ity eva yat karma niyataṁ kriyate ‘rjuna saṅgaṁ tyaktvā phalaṁ chaiva sa tyāgaḥ sāttviko mataḥ
Translation
He who performeth a prescribed action, saying, "it ought to be done," O Arjuna, relinquishing attachment and also fruit, that relinquishment is regarded as pure.
What it means
Who performs prescribed action saying only "it should be done," abandoning attachment and fruit: that relinquishment is reckoned sattvic. Duty without debate is the pure form. The cleanest reason to act is that the act is right.
Try this today
Sattvic relinquishment defined: full performance, zero claim. The duty done because it is duty.
Something to reflect on
What do I do for no better reason than that it should be done?
