I am born in every age to protect the good, to destroy evil, and to reestablish dharma. • There are three gates to this self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three.

  8. You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. • No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.

  9. That one is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful, grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen. • Those who worship other gods with faith and devotion also worship me, Arjuna, even if they do not observe the usual forms.
