Chapter 3 • Verse 7
यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन। कर्मेन्द्रियैः कर्मयोगमसक्तः स विशिष्यते॥
yas tv indriyāṇi manasā niyamyārabhate 'rjuna karmendriyaiḥ karma-yogam asaktaḥ sa viśhiṣhyate
Meaning
But one who controls the senses with the mind, O Arjuna, and engages the organs of action in karma yoga without attachment — such a person excels.
The superior path: control the mind, then engage in action without attachment. This is karma yoga - working fully while remaining inwardly free. Excellence through detached engagement.
Strength Reflection
"I engage fully in action while maintaining inner detachment from results."
Devotional Surrender
O Arjuna's guide, help me master karma yoga - full engagement with complete detachment.
