Chapter 12 • Verse 11

अथैतदप्यशक्तोऽसि कर्तुं मद्योगमाश्रितः। सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं ततः कुरु यतात्मवान्॥

athaitad apy aśhakto 'si kartuṁ mad-yogam āśhritaḥ sarva-karma-phala-tyāgaṁ tataḥ kuru yatātmavān

Meaning

If you are unable to do even this, then taking refuge in My yoga, renounce the fruits of all actions with self-control.

The final fallback: if even working for God seems impossible, simply renounce the fruits of your actions while taking refuge in divine yoga. Don't cling to results. This inner renunciation purifies even ordinary actions.

Strength Reflection

"At minimum, I can renounce the fruits of my actions and take refuge in God."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord, I release my attachment to results and take refuge in You.
