“Opera,” Bibb mused. “From Rigoletto, I believe. I haven’t heard it in so long. Please, leave it on this one.” A voice began singing against the rich strains, a high-pitched, lilting falsetto that made him blurt, “Is that…a woman?”
Ask which Aria
“You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.”
― Bhagavad Gita
― Bhagavad Gita
“You have the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.
Perform every action with you heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure: for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.
Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahma. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.”
