SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 3 Text 17

yas tv atma-ratir eva syad
atma-trptas ca manavah
atmany eva ca santustas
tasya karyam na vidyate

yah--one who; tu--but; atma-ratih--taking pleasure in the self; eva--certainly; syat--remains; atma-trptah--self-illuminated; ca--and; manavah--a man; atmani--in himself; eva--only; ca--and; santustah--perfectly satiated; tasya--hies; karyam--duty; na--does not; vidyate--exist.

TRANSLATION

But for one who takes pleasure in the self, whose human life is one of self-realization, and who is satisfied in the self only, fully satiated--for him there is no duty.
