Action


Be intent on action....not on the fruits of action. Be impartial to failure and success. Attachment to results brings desire, suffering, frustration, and anger. So, one should not act out of such attachments. Rather, the disciplined person acts with equanimity and commitment to duty.

- Krishna

The key here is that people waste a lot of energy on the expected result. Once you are able to let go of your expected result, you are able to see more truth. You will do well to let go of that desire, and work towards seeing what is really real. The goal here is to be more "free". To the degree that you are free, you will see more truth....and then take appropriate action.
