From 39th stanza till the end of Chapter II of Gita, duty doer’s non doing is explained. These are capable persons, who believe in carrying out the duty. The aim of such persons is to do good of maximum (beings and non-beings).
Some think, for serving the mankind, special set of skills or capabilities are a must! I came across a very learned person, who wants to serve the society, but his lament is, he is not a doctor. According to him, a doctor can serve the community better – and he is not! Doctors can serve but so can anyone. What is required is mindset. The keyword here is ‘without expecting anything in return’. Right mindset associated with good health can do wonders for the society. We have examples of uneducated persons doing yeoman’s service to the nation and in turn for the universe. We may not be the person to actually prescribe the medicines but we can be the person who delivers the medicines!!!
The duty has to be understood. It is a self-assigned work for the community which is selfless and without any expectations. The duty is assumed, based on synthesis of own capability, family and individual constraints including health and circumstances they are in. By carrying out the duty without any expectations these duty doers become non doers. That is, they do and don’t expect anything in return, don’t become sad if they couldn’t achieve, don’t carry with them hatred against any one or praise doesn’t stick on to them. Only such non doers remain contended. Those who do their duty with expectations or work for profit, face frustration, disenchantment and problems sometime or other in their life.
Doing without expectation, and becoming a doing non doer have positive effect on self. One remains happy, contended and without any baggage and has better effect on mental and physical health.
