The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran

╭ chapter twelve
If even the attempt at regular practice should fail, Krishna is
still not ready to let Arjuna admit defeat. He should, Krishna
says, work selflessly without desire for the fruits of his labors.
But real peace of mind comes only from renunciation. The
word tyaga here seems to mean renunciation or abandonment
of self-will more than anything else. Such self-surrender
may be a last resort, but if it is genuine it brings immediate
peace.
Verses 13–20 describe the characteristics of the genuine
lover of God. Such a saintly person, Krishna points out, is
greatly loved and dear to Krishna himself.
