Acting wisely

The Gita emphasises a state of ‘action in inaction’ (naishkarmya karma)

We exhaust ourselves trying to control outcomes.

The [Bhagavad] Gita reminds us: surrender the illusion of control.

Do your duty impeccably, but let go of how things should turn out.

This is the secret of wise action
