Bhagavad Gita 3.25
सक्ताः कर्मण्यविद्वांसो यथा कुर्वन्ति भारत। कुर्याद्विद्वांस्तथासक्तश्िचकीर्षुर्लोकसंग्रहम्॥
saktāḥ karmaṇyavidvānso yathā kurvanti bhārata kuryād vidvāns tathāsaktaśh chikīrṣhur loka-saṅgraham
Translation
As the ignorant act from attachment to action, O Bhârata, so should the wise act without attachment, desiring the welfare of the world.
What it means
As the ignorant act from attachment, so should the wise act, unattached, for the welfare of the world. Outwardly the same labor, inwardly a different universe. The difference between bondage and freedom is the motive, not the motion.
Try this today
Same work, different engine: the wise do what the driven do, but from care rather than craving.
Something to reflect on
If my schedule stayed identical but my motive changed, what would feel different?
