One of the most relevant lessons from the Bhagavad Gita is the concept of Nishkama Karma, or selfless action.

In Chapter 2, Verse 47, Lord Krishna advises:

"Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana, ma karma phala hetur bhurmatey sangostva akarmani."
(You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction.)

This lesson emphasizes focusing on one's actions and responsibilities without being attached to the outcomes. In today's world, where people often measure success by results, achievements, or external validation, this teaching is a reminder to stay committed to doing one's best without becoming overly anxious about the results.

By practicing this principle, one can find inner peace, reduce stress, and lead a more meaningful and balanced life, free from the constant pressure of seeking rewards or recognition. It encourages people to find fulfillment in the process itself, rather than solely in the outcome.
