अपने-अपने कर्म में लगा हुआ मनुष्य सिद्धि प्राप्त करता है। अपने कर्म में निरत मनुष्य कैसे सिद्धि पाता है, वह सुनो।
English Translation
Each person devoted to their own duty attains perfection. Hear how one who is dedicated to their own work finds perfection.
Commentary (टीका)
The path to spiritual perfection does not require abandoning one's natural role but fulfilling it with devotion. Whatever one's duty — teaching, protecting, producing, or serving — performing it wholeheartedly leads to the same ultimate goal. This democratizes spiritual attainment.
