Acharya Prashant clarifies a common misunderstanding of the Bhagavad Gita, stating it is perhaps the most misunderstood of popular scriptures. He explains that the Gita does not advise one to do whatever they want without caring for the result. On the contrary, its first teaching is to not perform any action for personal pleasure or gratification. Only when one is not acting for personal pleasure can they be free from the results. As long as an action is performed for one's own benefit or self-interest, it is impossible not to care for the outcome. For the ego, the result comes first; one covets a result and then initiates an action to achieve it, making them inherently result-oriented. The speaker elaborates that the Gita does not endorse following one's pleasures and interests in an indiscreet fashion. The concept of 'Nishkam Karma' (action without desire for rewards) is about acting from a higher center, not from a deluded point or blind desire. When an action originates from this higher point, it blesses the doer with detachment from the results. The action itself becomes so potent, lovable, and powerful that one forgets to bother about what happens next. Worrying about the outcome is an indication that one is not living or choosing rightly. Acharya Prashant advises using discretion to determine what is truly worth doing. He suggests carefully investigating one's 'bucket list' of desires, as it may contain both gems to be cherished and trash to be discarded. Many of our actions are driven by conditioning or bodily, social, and situational impulses. The speaker emphasizes that right action must come first, as only right action leads to detachment from its results. Right action and detachment always go together. If one has an eye on the result, it signifies that the action itself is not right.
