Bhagavad Gita 3.30

Surrendering all actions to me, with your consciousness focused on the Self, free from desire and selfishness, fight, with your fever gone.

Theme: Purpose

"Surrendering all actions to me, with your consciousness focused on the Self, free from desire and selfishness, fight, with your fever gone."

Modern explanation

When the day pushes against you, remember: When you stop carrying the whole weight of outcomes, you finally have the energy to act well.

Practical application

Do the work even when motivation has left the room. Discipline is borrowed motivation.

Reflection question

What would I do if I knew this work was preparing me for something I can't yet see?
