Gita 2.47 · Sankhya Yoga
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
karmaṇy evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācanamā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo 'stv akarmaṇi
You have a right to your work, but never to its results. Do not act for the reward, and do not cling to doing nothing.
Gita 2.48 · Sankhya Yoga
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय ।सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते ॥

Steady in yoga, do your work and let go of attachment. Stay the same in success and failure. That evenness is called yoga.

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥
yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārataabhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
Whenever dharma declines and its opposite rises, I bring myself into the world.
Gita 6.5 · Dhyana Yoga
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥
uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayetātmaiva hy ātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ
Lift yourself by your own self; do not let yourself sink. You are your own friend, and you can be your own enemy.
Gita 18.66 · Moksha Sannyasa Yoga
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥
sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vrajaahaṁ tvā sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
Set every other duty aside and take refuge in me alone. I will free you from all harm. Do not grieve.

Gita 2.47 · Sankhya Yoga
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते
मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
Your part is the work itself. The outcome was never yours to hold.
Arjuna has put down his bow. Krishna begins to teach him how to act without fear.
Prepare fully for the exam, the pitch, the match. Then let the result come.
A little every day builds a lasting practice.
