Translator:
Renouncing all actions in Me, with the mind centered on the Self, free from hope and egoism, and from mental fever, fight thou.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: surrender all actions to Krishna, act without desire or sense of ownership, and fight, free from mental anguish, the chapter's instruction finally directed at Arjuna's actual situation.
In life: this is what applying the whole chapter's argument looks like in a single hard moment, do the necessary thing, released from personal stake in it.
Teaching: the next time you're dreading something necessary, try consciously offering the effort outward rather than carrying it as purely your own burden.
