📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Can I let go of my attachment to the outcome and fully immerse myself in my present duty?

📝ONGO's Reflection

The teaching Krishna offers to Arjuna, the warrior who has laid down his weapons in the midst of the battlefield, resounded deeply in me as well. The heart of this book lies in the yoga of action, karma yoga: do your duty without clinging to its fruits. We are forever anxious, calculating success and failure, yet true peace arrives only when we are absorbed in the act itself. Entrust the outcomes you cannot control to the universe, and fix your attention on the deed of this present moment alone, this wisdom is the most powerful prescription for governing a troubled mind.

— ONGO · Curator
"You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action."
Vyasa (traditional), Bhagavad Gita
"너에게는 오직 행위할 권리만이 있을 뿐, 그 결과에 대한 권리는 없다."

🌱Apply It Today
