Bhagavid Gita Quotes

“Be focused on action and not on the fruits of action.”

“Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.”

“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.”

“One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men.”

“Through selfless service, you will always be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your desires.”

“Whatever action is performed by a great man, common men follow in his footsteps, and whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.”

“When a man dwells on the pleasure of sense, attraction for them arises in him. From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger.

From passion comes confusion of mind, then loss of remembrance, the forgetting of duty. From this loss comes the ruin of reason, and the ruin of reason leads man to destruction.”

“Work for work’s sake, not for yourself. Act but do not be attached to your actions. Be in the world, but not of it.”

“You are what you believe in. You become that which you believe you can become.”

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

“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.

Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.

Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”
