Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Verse 30

मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा | निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ||

mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi sannyasyādhyātma-chetasā nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ

Surrendering all actions to Me, with consciousness established in the Self, free from desire and possessiveness, without grief—fight!

Krishna delivers his direct command: 'Mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi sannyasya'—surrender all actions to Me. Not 'stop acting,' but surrender the doer. 'Adhyātma-chetasā'—with consciousness in the Self, not identified with body-mind. 'Nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā'—free from result-desire and possessiveness. Then: 'Yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ'—FIGHT without anxiety! This is karma yoga's paradox: full action while surrendering doership and outcome. External engagement, internal detachment. It answers Arjuna's confusion—not 'act or renounce,' but act with inner renunciation.
