Bhagavad Gita 2.48

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

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

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Steadiness, not victory, is the real prize. Treat outcomes as weather passing through.

Practical application

Sit for five minutes without your phone. Watch your breath. Don't try to change it.

Beneath all the noise, what does my deepest self already know?
