Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 12, Verse 11

Bhakti Yoga

अथैतदप्यशक्तोऽसि कर्तुं मद्योगमाश्रितः । सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं ततः कुरु यतात्मवान् ॥ ११ ॥

athaitad apy aśhakto ’si kartuṁ mad-yogam āśhritaḥ sarva-karma-phala-tyāgaṁ tataḥ kuru yatātmavān

Translation

If you cannot do even this, then take refuge in Me, control yourself, and give up the fruits of all your actions.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

यदि तुम यह भी करने में असमर्थ हो, तो मेरी शरण लेकर, मन को वश में करके, सब कर्मों के फल का त्याग कर दो।

Commentary

The last rung is the most basic: keep acting, but let go of the results (karma-phala-tyaga). One does not even have to think of God while working, only stop clinging to outcomes. This connects the whole ladder back to the karma yoga of chapters 2–5.
