The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit भगवद्गीता, Bhagavad Gītā, "Song of God") is one of the most important Hindu scriptures. It is revered as a sacred scripture of Hinduism, and considered as one of the most important philosophical classics of the world.
"Do without attachment the work you have to do.
Surrending all action to ME, freeing yourself from longing and
selfishness, fight - unperturbed by grief." (Bhagavad-Gita)
Once all claims on work have been renounced, including
whether it will succeed in its intent, the karma yogi's actions
no longer swell the ego.
People usually approach work in terms of its consequences
for their empirical selves --the pay or acclaim it will bring.
This inflates the ego. It thickens its insulation and thereby
its isolation.
