All these activities should be performed without attachment or any expectation of result. They should be performed as a matter of duty, O son of Prtha. That is My final opinion.

JOURNAL:

Last Monday I started a new job. It came complete with a living wage and new challenges for me. I am, of course, looking forward to my first check, so this sloka is a timely reminder that I need to keep my eyes on the Lord while I work.
