Bhagavad Gita Verses on Success & Excellence in Work
Yoga is skill in action. Work without attachment, lead by example, and worship the Divine through your own duty — the Gita on doing work well.
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते। तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्॥
Endowed with wisdom and evenness of mind, one casts off in this life both good and evil deeds; therefore, devote yourself to Yoga; Yoga is skill in action.
