No task too low, none too high

na dveṣṭyakuśalaṃ karma kuśale nānuṣajjatetyāgī sattvasamāviṣṭo medhāvī chinnasaṃśayaḥ

The one who lets go, full of clarity, wise, free of doubt, neither hates unpleasant work nor clings to pleasant work.

What it means

Krishna describes the person who truly lets go. Filled with sattva, clear and wise, their doubts cut away. They don't hate unpleasant tasks. They don't cling to pleasant ones. Washing dishes and leading a meeting get the same steady attention. Preferences remain, but don't rule them.

The story

Arjuna would gladly do glorious battle and avoid painful duty. Krishna invites him to treat both the same, as simply his to do.

In your life

Think of a chef who cleans the kitchen floor with the same care as plating a dish. Do your least favourite task today with full care.
