Seek detachment without forsaking responsibilities. The Gita advises: 'Perform your prescribed duties without attachment, for the sake of sacrifice.' | How can one manage stress and maintain work-life balance? |

Know that I am the imperishable reality—the source and sustainer of all. The Gita declares: 'I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable ‘Om’ in Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and the ability in man.' | What is the supreme truth—the secret of existence? |

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches us about the concept of Nishkama Karma, which means selfless action without attachment to the results. When we perform our duties without being overly attached to the outcomes, we can find inner peace and fulfillment. One relevant verse from the Bhagavad Gita is from Chapter 2, Verse 47: 'You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.' This verse reminds us that we should focus on our actions and duties sincerely, without being preoccupied with the results. By letting go of our attachment to the outcomes, we can free ourselves from the anxiety and disappointment that can arise when things don't go as planned. So, continue to work hard and do your best, but detach yourself from the results. Trust in the process and have faith that your efforts are not in vain, even if the results may not be immediate or as expected. Keep moving forward with a sense of duty and dedication, knowing that you are on the right path. | I've worked very hard but I'm still not able to achieve the results I hoped for, what do I do? |
