Excerpt
But, if in this thy faint heart fails, bring Me thy failure! find Refuge in Me! let fruits of labour go, Renouncing hope for Me, with lowliest heart, So shalt thou come; for, though to know is more Than diligence, yet worship better is Than knowing, and renouncing better still. Near to renunciation--very near-- Dwelleth Eternal Peace!

✨ To meditate on today
According to the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna that if the other paths seem too difficult to him, he can simply renounce the fruit of his actions, that is, act without clinging to the result: very close to this renunciation lies deep joy. Today, do a task as well as you can, then let go of the result, and taste the lightness that follows.
