Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 3: The Path of Action

Bhagavad Gita 3.30

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṃnyasyādhyātmacetasā | nirāśīrnirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigatajvaraḥ ||

Offering all your actions to me, with your mind fixed on the self, free from expectation and from the sense of "mine," fight, with your fever gone.

Modern context

This verse gathers the teaching of the chapter into one instruction: offer every action to the divine, keep the mind centred, drop expectation and possessiveness, and then act without inner fever. 'Fever' is the right word for the heat of worry in which we so often work. The same work done with a cool mind is a different experience.
