Bhagavad Gita 18.12
Sanskrit
अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम्।भवत्यत्यागिनां प्रेत्य न तु संन्यासिनां क्वचित्।।18.12।।
Transliteration
aniṣhṭam iṣhṭaṁ miśhraṁ cha tri-vidhaṁ karmaṇaḥ phalam bhavaty atyāgināṁ pretya na tu sannyāsināṁ kvachit
Word by Word
The fruits of karma are inescapable for those who cling to results—pleasant, unpleasant, or mixed experiences follow them like shadows across lifetimes. But the renunciate, the one who has truly surrendered action to the Divine, transcends this cycle entirely; their consciousness no longer identifies with outcomes, and so no karmic debt accrues.
When you release the grip of 'I did this for my gain,' you step outside the law of consequences—not through escape, but through the death of the ego that claims the fruits.
