Do your duty to the best of your ability, O Arjuna,
with your mind attached to the Lord. Give up worry for
and selfish attachment to the results. Remain calm in
both success and failure, because one has no control
over the results. The calmness of mind is the fruit of
Nishkāma-Karma-yoga. (2.48)

All works are done by the forces (or Gunas) of
Nature. Due to ignorance, people assume themselves
to be the doer and suffer from karmic bondage. We all
are just a divine instrument and should help each
other. (3.27)

As a blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, similarly,
the fire of Self-knowledge removes all our past Karma
and demonic qualities. Spiritual knowledge is the best
purifier. It opens up the gates of Nirvana for us. (4.37)

Samnyāsa or giving up the feeling of doership and
ownership (Kartā and Bhoktā), is difficult to attain
without Nishkām-Karma-Yoga (selfless service, Sevā).
We are just a trustee of God-given wealth. Sevā
gradually leads to Self-knowledge, faith, deep
devotion, and Mukti. (5.06)

Lust (for wealth, power, and sensual pleasures),
anger, and greed are the three gates of hell leading to
the downfall (or reincarnation) of the individual soul.
Uncontrolled sensual desire is the root of all evils and
misery. Therefore, one must learn to give up these
three. (16.21)

The faith of each is according to one’s own nature or
Samskāra. One is known by one’s faith. One can
become whatever one wants to be (if he constantly
thinks about his goal with a burning desire and deep
faith in God). All we are is the result of our thoughts.
