According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

Thanks for reading

na chāti-svapna-śhīlasya jāgrato naiva chārjuna।। 6.16।।

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?

Thanks for your question and asking me to answer!

Is there any need of sweating so much just to stay hungry? And after so much toiling from morning till evening or night, where's the energy left in you to stay hungry even? You will not only be able not to stay hungry, but you will overeat! To stay hungry, your body must in a fit condition.

O Arjuna! Yoga is not for him who eats too much or doesn't eat all; Yoga is not for him who sleeps too much or doesn't sleep at all

Do Republicans realize that the power of the people is invested in 'representative government'? If so, why did they elect a pathological liar?

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!
