Bhagavad Gita 18.46

Worship through your own work.

Shri Bhagavan

यतः प्रवृत्तिर्भूतानां येन सर्वमिदं ततम् ।
स्वकर्मणा तमभ्यर्च्य सिद्धिं विन्दति मानवः ॥

yataḥ pravṛttirbhūtānāṁ yena sarvamidaṁ tatam / svakarmaṇā tamabhyarcya siddhiṁ vindati mānavaḥ

He from whom all beings arise and by whom all this is pervaded — worshipping Him through one's own work, a person finds perfection.

हिंदी · जिससे सब प्राणियों की उत्पत्ति होती है और जिससे यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् व्याप्त है, उसी की अपने कर्म के द्वारा पूजा करके मनुष्य सिद्धि प्राप्त करता है।

What it means

Worship through your own work.

By doing one’s own work as worship of the One from whom all beings arise and by whom all this is pervaded, a person attains fulfilment.
