Bhagavad Geeta 5.14

न कर्तृत्वं न कर्माणि लोकस्य सृजति प्रभुः। न कर्मफलसंयोगं स्वभावस्तु प्रवर्तते।।5.14।।
na kartṛitvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛijati prabhuḥ na karma-phala-saṅyogaṁ svabhāvas tu pravartate
Meaning
Focus on your effort and choices, not outcomes. You control your actions, not results. This frees you from anxiety and enables better decisions.
Translation
The Self does not create agency or any objects of desire for anyone, nor does it associate with the results of actions; rather, it is Nature that acts.
