Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 3 verse 30


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.
