Chapter III · Śloka 30
मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि संन्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा ।
निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ॥
निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ॥
mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṃnyasyādhyātma-cetasā |
nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ ||
nirāśīr nirmamo bhūtvā yudhyasva vigata-jvaraḥ ||
Surrendering all actions to Me, with mind intent on the Self, being free from longing and selfishness, fight — unburdened by grief.
Krishna gives Arjuna the practical formula for action: offer every deed to the Lord, act with a Self-focused mind, abandon all desire for results and all sense of 'mine,' and then engage fully in battle without mental fever. This is the essence of karma-yoga as complete surrender.
