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.
