Chapter 3 verse 30
“Renouncing all actions in Me,
with the mind centered on the Self, free from hope and egoism
(ownership/doership), free from mental fever, do fight”
Having explained why Arjuna
should be performing action with an attitude of submitting results of those
actions to the divine, Krishna is bringing home the point in this verse. Mind
is the culprit which needs to be managed here. The mind plays on positive
expectations from the future (hope) and assumption that one has control over
the results of the action-ego. Krishna is asking in no uncertain terms to get
over the “fever” of the mind and fight the battle knowing that is the only
activity Arjuna can do. Everything else just happens. Krishna will repeat this
call for action again in Gita. Leadership is all about inspiring people to act!
Great leadership lesson from Krishna.
