Two armies are drawn up for battle at the start of the Bhagavad Gita (say "bug-uh-vud gee-tah"), and the warrior Arjuna has his chariot placed between them. He sees teachers and kinsmen on both sides, puts down his bow, sits down in the chariot, says he won't fight, and falls silent. Krishna answers him, the text says, with a slight smile. Arjuna isn't lazy; he's stopped because he can't bear how it might turn out. The verse below moves the motive off the result and onto the thing that's his to do, and then shuts the exit he was reaching for, since sitting in the chariot doesn't get him out of it either. Your morning's a good deal smaller than a war, which helps. If there's an appointment you keep not booking because you'd rather not hear the answer, book it today because it's yours to do, and let the answer be whatever it is.
Your business is with action alone; not by any means with fruit. Let not the fruit of action be your motive (to action). Let not your attachment be (fixed) on inaction.
Bhagavad Gita 2.47 (trans. Kashinath Trimbak Telang)
