niyataṁ kuru karma tvaṁ karma jyāyo hyakarmaṇaḥ
śharīra-yātrāpi cha te na prasiddhyed akarmaṇaḥ || 8||

My Understanding : Work can be of two types: physical and mental. Physical work involves the body’s functions, such as digesting food to produce energy, without requiring mental effort. On the other hand, mental work engages the conscience, which harbors desires and guides our actions. Sometimes, our conscience tells us to act, and we follow. Other times, even when it warns us against something, we might still choose to do it—whether out of duty or personal reasons. Good and bad deeds are not recorded externally; instead, our conscience inherently understands what is right and wrong based on the situation. It is up to us to listen to this inner voice and act accordingly. We must fulfill our daily responsibilities while focusing on actions that bring peace of mind and a sense of fulfillment. Whatever we do, we should do it wholeheartedly, with sincerity and dedication.
