DESIRE
THOSE who have spiritual discrimination call him wise who undertakings are all free from desire, for his actions are consumed in the fire of knowledge. He abandons the desire to see a reward for his actions, is free, contented, and upon nothing dependeth, and although engaged in action he really doeth nothing; he is not solicitous about results, with mind and body subdued and being above enjoyments of objects, doing with the body alone the acts of the body, he does not subject himself to rebirth. —The Bhagavad Gita.
