At least, let go of craving results

athaitadapyaśakto’asi kartuṃ madyogamāśritaḥsarvakarmaphalatyāgaṃ tataḥ kuru yatātmavān

If you cannot even do this, then resting in Me, with self-control, let go of craving for the fruits of all your actions.

What it means

Krishna reaches the gentlest step. If even working for him feels hard, then simply let go of craving for the fruits of your karma. Do what you do, then release your worry about the results. That's all. Anyone can begin here. It's the most accessible door, and, as the next verse shows, a powerful one.

The story

Krishna has walked down the ladder rung by rung. Mind fixed on him. Practice. Work for him. And finally, just let go of craving results. There's no one he leaves behind.

In your life

Think of someone too busy for meditation or prayer who simply decides, I'll do my best and stop obsessing over outcomes. Their stress drops. Start there today. Do your best, release the worry about the rest.
