Acharya Prashant clarifies that Shri Krishna's teachings in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita do not begin with work or action, but with the choice of work. He explains that the common mind usually operates by setting a target or desire firstâoften driven by social pressure, greed, or fearâand then deciding on an action to achieve that result. In such a framework, it is impossible to work without worrying about the results because the desire for the result is the very reason for the action. He points out that if students were guaranteed grades without exams, or employees guaranteed salaries without working, most would stop their efforts because they lack a love for the work itself.
