The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran

6 ╭ Th e Practice of Meditation

1
It is not those who lack energy or refrain from
action, but those who work without expectation
of reward who attain the goal of meditation.
Theirs is true renunciation. 2 Therefore, Arjuna,
you should understand that renunciation and
the performance of selfless service are the same.
Those who cannot renounce attachment to the
results of their work are far from the path.
3
For aspirants who want to climb the mountain
of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work;
for those who have ascended to yoga the path
is stillness and peace. 4 When you have freed
yourself from attachment to the results of work,
and from desires for the enjoyment of sense
objects, you will ascend to the unitive state.
