Renounce the fruits of your actions
Your right is to action alone.
You are born for action, equipped with instruments for work and perception, along with a unique mind and intellect for decision. Your entitlement is solely to perform your duty. You inevitably act, yet you cling to expecting specific results. The instruction is clear: your right is to the work alone, never to its fruits. This is because your understanding of action's full consequence is limited. The outcome belongs to a higher authority who comprehends the complete picture. Relinquish your claim to the results.
"Your right is to work alone, but never to the fruits thereof."
"Let God decide. He is the ultimate authority."
