कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
Transliteration:
Karmanye vādhikāraste mā phaleṣhu kadāchana
Mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo’stvakarmaṇi
You have control over your actions,
but not over the results of those actions.
Do not make results your only motivation,
and do not stop acting because you fear failure.
Mid-life is often when people are doing their maximum duty:
Working consistently
Supporting family
Fulfilling responsibilities
Yet results feel:
Slower
Unfair
Out of one’s control
This creates silent frustration:
“I’m doing everything right, so why isn’t it working?”
The Gita answers this directly — not by denying effort, but by redefining where peace comes from.
He is not saying “don’t care about results”
He is not saying “be passive or detached from life”
He is not saying “accept injustice silently”
Instead, he is saying:
Don’t let results decide your inner stability.
You work sincerely, without obsessing over outcomes
You show up daily, even when appreciation is missing
You stop measuring your worth only through success
Action remains strong.
Anxiety slowly loosens its grip.
Mid-age strength is not intensity.
It is steadiness.
Do your work fully
Accept that outcomes are shaped by many forces
Refuse to abandon your duty out of fear or disappointment
This is not weakness.
This is maturity.
Peace does not come from controlling results.
It comes from knowing you acted with sincerity.
When effort is honest, the mind can finally rest.
