One of the most famous and foundational verses on karma in the Gita is found in Chapter 2, Verse 47: “Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana, ma karmaphalaheturbhur ma te sango’stvakarmani.” (You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.)
