True. But in BJP there are a section of politicians who feel that the Congress should be retaliated in a language which it understands. I agree BJP should not stoop down to such levels.

Ramakrishnanji, you have given a lovely and simple explanation. In the modern context we can applied it thus, according to my interpretation, work sincerely and dedicatedly, give our fullest efforts and expect suitable compensation in return for our honest efforts. This is with reference to our work we need to do for earning livelihood. Whereas , when we deal with others besides our work, be it friends, relatives, other components of the society, we need to do what is right and do not expect any gains from those interactions, just do what is right .

We tend to waste time when we invest it somewhere else. For instance, some teenagers invest time at present enjoyment rather than the future planning and then they regret. So it depends over our knowledge, thought-process and philosophy for life. At times, people make a good choice but it gets turned into waste due tp destiny.

Hilarious as we may find and laugh for a bit, I think BJP needs to give up resorting to such cheap comments. They need to start showing now that they are more mature and serious in their intentions than congress. Everyone knows that congress has always needed and will need in future too, the crutches of Gandhi-Nehru family and they have suffered big time for it. It is up to the congress who they want to discard or put on pedestal. BJP need not stoop to their level and keep making such jokes for a few laughs.

Geeta says that do the right and do your work without thinking the consequences. It is like Shri krishna said to Arjun to demolish the people who did wrong because it was required. Krishna wanted to tell actually that one should fulfill the duties not necessarily selflessly but without thinking the consequences. However, whatever we do in our life, we expect consequences whether good or bad, it is secondary. Therefore, we regret duehe expectations and hence, expectations leads us to be fragile in our lives and to build our strength we should try working without expecting. However, it is very difficult to do so.

Prioritising and focusing on essential and important things will help avoid wasting time on unnecessary. But the kind of time-wasters that have been described in the link involves maturity and wisdom of the mind.

Geeta says, there are certain works or duties assigned to a person are to be done. That's the Dharma which is expected from the person. So you are not doing anything extra or great by sticking to your work assigned to you. A parent brings up his child because the child was brought by the parents into this world. The child neither demanded or wanted to be brought into this world. Hence the parent is doing what he is supposed to do.

We do each and everything for a purpose. We help fellow human being for our peace of mind or for charity. Craving for a certain fruit or result is the onset of any work.
