"You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty."

This foundational teaching separates our actions from their outcomes, freeing us from anxiety about results and rooting us in purposeful, present effort.

"Let a man lift himself by his own Self alone; let him not lower himself; for this Self alone is the friend of oneself, and this Self alone is the enemy of oneself."

Krishna teaches that the mind can be our greatest ally or our worst foe — the difference lies in discipline, self-mastery, and the courage to turn inward for strength.

"The soul is never born nor dies at any time. It has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval."

A profound comfort in times of grief — what we call death is only a transition of the soul. The eternal self cannot be destroyed by any weapon, water, or flame.

"He who has let go of hatred towards all beings, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from possessiveness and ego, equal in pain and pleasure — such a devotee is dear to Me."

The highest human expression, according to Krishna, is boundless compassion — not as a practice, but as a way of being. Peace is not found; it is steadily cultivated.
