The path of Karma Yoga teaches that action done without attachment, with a spirit of selfless service, leads to liberation (moksha). Krishna's message to Arjuna is to rise above his confusion, fulfill his duty as a warrior, and fight without attachment, thus achieving spiritual fulfillment while remaining active in the world.

This chapter beautifully bridges the gap between worldly duties and spiritual growth, teaching that one can achieve enlightenment by simply fulfilling their responsibilities selflessly.

Do your duty: Engage in your responsibilities with sincerity but without attachment to success or failure.

Act selflessly: Dedicate your actions to a higher cause or divine purpose, turning work into a spiritual practice.

Be an example: Leaders should act in ways that inspire others to live virtuously.

Find balance: Avoid extremes of complete inaction or overly self-centered actions. Instead, embrace disciplined, selfless action.
