Perform your duty established in yoga, abandoning attachment, even-minded in success and failure.

Theme: Anxiety

"Perform your duty established in yoga, abandoning attachment, even-minded in success and failure. This evenness of mind is called yoga."

Modern explanation

When the day pushes against you, remember: Steadiness, not victory, is the real prize. Treat outcomes as weather passing through.

Practical application

Treat the next task as the entire universe. Do only that, fully, then look up.
