Acharya Prashant clarifies that the Bhagavad Gita is often misunderstood regarding the concept of detachment from results. He explains that it is impossible to be unmindful of results if one acts out of personal pleasure, gratification, or self-interest, as the ego is inherently result-oriented. One can only achieve true detachment when the action originates from a higher center rather than from deluded desires or blind impulses. Right action and detachment are inseparable; if one is worried about the outcome, it serves as an indication that the action itself is not right.
