Lord
The Bhagavad Gita · All Eighteen Discourses
Modernized by Sage · with Swarupananda (1909) beside it
Read the complete dialogue in order, keep Sanskrit terms visible, and bring one verse into a conversation that does not erase interpretive differences.
From verse 54 onward, everything answers one question: how would a person with a steady mind talk, sit, walk?
Your right is to action alone, never to its fruits. Don't let the fruits of action be your motive, and don't be attached to inaction either.2.47
2.48Established in yoga, Dhananjaya, perform actions, abandoning attachment, staying even-minded in success and failure. This evenness of mind is called yoga.

Not the work but the wanting is what binds. What fruit are you working for right now — can you name it plainly?
