Geeta Marg · 18.48
Follow Your Nature
सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत्। सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः॥
What does Bhagavad Gita 18.48 mean?

How can I apply Gita 18.48 in daily life?
Abandoning your work in pursuit of perfection is a mistake. Do the work that suits your nature and responsibility with complete honesty. Do not fear mistakes, for they are part of learning.
