अपरिग्रह

Gate III · Fruits · Day 15 of 35

Act, release the result

The teaching

The Gītā's most quoted line says you have a claim on the action but never on its fruits. This is aparigraha applied to the future: do the work, and hold no lien on what it earns you.

— Bhagavad Gītā 2.47

Today’s practice

Do one piece of work today as well as you can, then deliberately don't check its reception. No metrics, no reply-refreshing, for twenty-four hours.

Sit with this

What did you want the result to prove about you?
