Bhagavad Geeta 18.11
Sanskrit
न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः।यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते।।18.11।।
na hi deha-bhṛitā śhakyaṁ tyaktuṁ karmāṇy aśheṣhataḥ yas tu karma-phala-tyāgī sa tyāgīty abhidhīyate
Meaning
Focus on doing your work excellently without obsessing over outcomes. True mastery lies in effort itself, not controlling results.
Translation
Since it is not possible for one who holds onto a body to give up actions entirely, therefore he who renounces the results of his actions is called a man of renunciation.
