निष्कामकर्म जना द्विविधम्,
जाताय दधति न ते तु दत्त ॥ (पल्लवी)
Niṣkāmakarma Janā Dvividham,
Jātāya Dadhati Na Te Tu Datta ॥ (Pallavī)
O Datta! Niṣkāma karmayoga or practical love without aspiration for any fruit in return, which is of two parts i.e. service and sacrifice is done by the people for the sake of their issues, but, not for Your sake.
असाध्यमिति चेत् सर्वत्राऽस्तु,
एकत्र साध्य मयुक्त मेव ॥
asādhyamiti cet sarvatrā'stu,
ekatra sādhya mayukta meva ॥
If people say that such service and sacrifice without aspiration for fruit in return is impossible, OK, let it be impossible everywhere. They can’t justify their inability of this in the case of God when the same is possible in the case of their issues. Impossible can’t be possible in one place and impossible in another place.
दयापि वाच्या न तत्त्वविदा,
सर्वं ययाऽऽकर्षणमेव ॥
dayāpi vācyā na tattvavidā,
sarvaṃ yayā''karṣaṇameva ॥
A scholar knowing the essence of any concept shall not pray even for the grace of You because Your grace brings all types of good fruits. In the devotion, there shall be only one reason, which is the strongest attraction to God and not quid pro quo.
एकदिग्गति सत्य प्रेमा,
दातुं शक्यं किं न ते तु ॥
ekadiggati satya premā,
dātuṃ śakyaṃ kiṃ na te tu ॥
True love is always one way traffic only because two way traffic love is business or unreal love. If one maintains the true love to You, what is impossible for You, the omnipotent, to give to devotee?
