Arjuna Quote by Vikrmn: CA Vikram Verma
““Shri Krishna never meant, “Keep on doing Karmas and don’t bother about the fruits or outcome.” It was mistranslated and misunderstood. Imagine you are sitting in the examination hall. Would you worry about your marks and start calculating your marks or would you concentrate on attempting the answer to the question to your best? Shri Krishna meant, “While doing your Karma, you should concentrate only on your performance, not on results.””
