Bhagavad Gita

“Your concern should be with action,
never with an action’s fruits;
these should never motivate you,
nor attachment to inaction.

‘Established in this practice, act
without attachment, Arjuna,
unmoved by failure or success!
Equanimity is yoga.

‘Action is far inferior
to the practice of higher mind;
seek refuge there, for pitiful
are those moved by fruit of action!

‘One disciplined by higher mind
here casts off good and bad actions;
therefore, be yoked to discipline;
discipline is skill in actions.”

– Gavin Flood’s Translation. “The Bhagavad Gita.”
