“Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana” BG2.47

 A

This verse is from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 47) and is one of its most well-known teachings. In Sanskrit:

"कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥"

Meaning:

• Karmanye Vadhikaraste → You have the right to perform your actions (karma).
• Ma Phaleshu Kadachana → But you do not have the right to the fruits of those actions.
• Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhur → Do not be motivated by the results of your work.
• Ma Te Sangostva Akarmani → At the same time, do not be attached to inaction.

Interpretation:

Krishna is teaching Arjuna the essence of selfless action (Nishkama Karma). The idea is to focus on performing one's duty without worrying about the outcomes. This helps cultivate discipline, reduce anxiety about success or failure, and lead to a more fulfilling life.

In a way, prana is the trick you have played on yourself to create an illusion to experience how it feels to forget your own profoundness and live as a limited being for some time, in which you have projected a whole illusory drama on the screen of consciousness to remind yourself that you are not insignificant, that you are everything, you are All that is.
