Individuals born under the Uttirashada Nakshatra in Capricorn, blessed by the planet Saturn, will focus greatly on their careers and finances. This verse from the Bhagavad Gita helps maintain a peaceful state of mind by acting without expectation of rewards. In business, when one performs their duties without expecting results, stress decreases. In financial management, with the blessings of Saturn, they can maintain a stable financial condition. When acting without expecting results, their mind remains calm. As a result, they can live with satisfaction in their lives. By following the teachings of Lord Krishna in this manner, they can live peacefully.

This verse advises individuals to let go of attachment to the fruits of their actions. When one performs actions without expecting any rewards, they attain mental satisfaction. Such a person can remain happy and peaceful without needing any support, as their mind will always be content due to their selfless actions. Therefore, even when they are fully engaged in their actions, it cannot be said that they are truly acting, as they have no personal expectations.

Renunciation is not complete abandonment but acting with the right knowledge. The essence of Vedanta emphasizes that any action should be performed as a duty without the intention of rewards. The foundation of Karma Yoga is 'Nishkama Karma', which means performing actions without expecting results. In this state, the mind can always remain calm and satisfied. This state connects us with the Paramatma. When the need for support is eliminated and the allure of rewards diminishes, we naturally dwell in bliss. This is what Krishna refers to as the true state of a Karma Yogi.

In today's world, many people make great efforts to achieve professional success and financial stability. However, acting with expectation of rewards can lead to frustration and stress. It is essential to perform actions without any expectations to avoid creating a birth-like mental state. In family welfare, parents should focus their attention and trust on their children's growth without seeking satisfaction from their own actions. In work and finance, employees who act solely with the expectation of rewards experience more stress. However, if they perform their duties as their responsibility, they will find peace and satisfaction in their minds. Even in debts and EMIs, one should cultivate a mindset of financial satisfaction. On social media, one should use it for personal development without increasing stress by comparing oneself to others. Mental peace is crucial for health and longevity. It is also important to choose healthy eating habits. To live in this manner, one must understand and act upon Krishna's teachings.
