Krishna Called. He Said: Hit Send.

Feeling anxious over unread messages and applause that never comes? Gita 2.47 has your back — with detachment, sass, and inbox therapy.

So, here's the scene:
You pour your heart into a message — maybe a proposal, maybe just a vulnerable WhatsApp — and then... silence. No reply. No emoji. Not even the decency of a blue tick.

Your brain? Spiral city.
“Did I overshare?” “Did they hate it?” “Should I send a follow-up or just fake my death?”

Congratulations, you're human. And also, apparently, Arjuna.


Gita Verse of the Week

Just when you’re mid-spiral, Krishna casually drops this gem on the battlefield:

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥

(karmaṇy-evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana
mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo 'stv akarmaṇi)


Literal translation: You have a right to perform your actions, but not to the results. Don’t act for reward, and don’t avoid action either.
(Bhagavad Gita 2.47)

Boom.
Krishna, in the middle of a literal war, basically says: “Do your thing. Let go of the outcome. Also, stop obsessing, bro.”


Modern Interpretation (Break It Down Krishna-Style)

This verse isn't just about war or duty or dharma. It's about your email anxiety, your “why didn’t they respond” overthinking, your performative productivity addiction.

Krishna’s message is simple: You control the send button. Not the read receipts.

You can:

  • Write the best pitch.
  • Love someone wholeheartedly.
  • Post something vulnerable and brave.

…and still get silence.

(Cue the existential spiral.)
But hey — your job was to show up, not score points.
Let the scoreboard rest.

We’ve been trained to tie our worth to feedback — likes, promotions, responses. Krishna slices through all that with one spiritual machete: Detach from the fruits, darling.

It's not about being apathetic. It’s about reclaiming peace from the clutches of external approval. Your value isn’t up for vote. And your inbox isn’t a soul scorecard.


Gita Drop of the Week

You’re not your inbox. You’re your intention.


Bonus: Drama vs Dharma

The Situation: You text someone something heartfelt. Hours pass. No reply.

Drama Reaction: Craft a passive-aggressive follow-up. Re-enact the conversation in your head. Delete all your previous chats. Repeat cycle.

Dharma Move: Pause. Remind yourself: “My dharma was honesty. Their reply isn’t my karma.” Then go stretch, nap, or flirt with your own peace.
