According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नत: |

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

A person who is moderate in food, recreation, work, sleep and waking, to such a person Yoga becomes a means to kill sorrow!

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!

If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?

How do you deal with a neighbor stealing?
