Bhagavad Gita 3.20
कर्मणैव हि संसिद्धिमास्थिता जनकादयः। लोकसंग्रहमेवापि संपश्यन्कर्तुमर्हसि॥
karmaṇaiva hi sansiddhim āsthitā janakādayaḥ loka-saṅgraham evāpi sampaśhyan kartum arhasi
Translation
Janaka and others indeed attained to perfection by action: then having an eye to the welfare of he world also, thou shouldst perform action.
What it means
King Janaka and others reached perfection through action itself. Act also for the world's welfare. A ruler-sage is the proof: engagement and enlightenment are compatible.
Try this today
The precedent: King Janaka reached the highest while ruling - proof that action and realization are compatible.
Something to reflect on
Who is my Janaka - proof that my role and my growth can coexist?
