Releasing the Fruit, One Reaches Steady Peace
The steadied one, releasing the fruit of action, reaches an unshaken peace; but the unsteady, craving the fruit, is bound by that very desire.
What steals my peace — the weight of the work, or my craving for its result?
📝Reflection
In this verse I see again the fork where the same work becomes either peace or bondage. The one who releases the fruit gains an unshaken peace in the work, while the one who craves it is bound by that very desire. The old teacher tells me again and again that what binds me is never the work itself but my grip toward its result. 'Do your utmost, leave the result to heaven' — that mind is the key to peace. When impatience for results tightens around me, I open that hand and recover peace.

If a task makes you anxious for results today, say aloud, 'I have done my part, so I release the outcome.'
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
