To Love Right Here, Expecting Nothing Back
When love and glory alike are erased from memory in the end, what remains?
Yours is only the right to act; the fruit is never yours to hold.
The Gita's old teacher said, "Yours is the right to act, never to its fruits." Glory and love are, in the end, fruits held in the hand; when they scatter, what remains is not the fruit but the wholehearted act itself.
📝The Classic Answers
The Gita's old teacher said, "Yours is the right to act, never to its fruits." Glory and love are, in the end, fruits held in the hand; when they scatter, what remains is not the fruit but the wholehearted act itself. Ration the heart while reckoning what will be erased, and nothing remains; but a love given fully right here, expecting nothing back, remains in its very sincerity even after the name is forgotten. Instead of calculating what I will leave, I choose to give this moment's heart wholly. Though every fruit scatters, a heart given whole does not.
