Day 2

Letting Go of the Fruit

You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.

BG 2.47

This verse doesn't say results don't matter. It says who you are shouldn't depend on them. Karma yoga — the path of action without attachment to reward — means the work is yours, but the outcome isn't. Once you actually feel that difference, action feels completely different.

Reflection

What are you working on right now where your sense of self is entangled with the outcome?

Today's Practice

Do one task today with full effort but with deliberate release of how it is received.
