Bhagavad Gita 9.9

न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय। उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु॥

na cha māṁ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjaya udāsīna-vad āsīnam asaktaṁ teṣhu karmasu

Translation

Nor do these works bind me, O Dhananjaya, enthroned on high unattached to actions.

What it means

These works do not bind Me, seated as one indifferent, unattached to actions. Cosmic activity is performed without entanglement. The model for karma yoga is the Divine's own way of working.

Try this today

The creator's detachment: total involvement, zero entanglement - the model Arjuna is being taught.

Something to reflect on

Can I be totally involved and completely unentangled in the same hour?
