Stop Chasing What You Want - Gita Explains Why?

There are times when we really want something. We wait for someone's call. We keep checking our phone for a message. We work hard for a job or promotion. Sometimes, we want a person to stay in our life, even when they are slowly moving away. And when we do not get what we want, we feel hurt. Most of us have been there. The Bhagavad Gita talks about this very human feeling. Krishna does not tell Arjuna to stop working or stop having dreams. Instead, one of the main Gita teachings is to focus on your actions and not become too attached to the result. This idea is explained clearly in Chapter 2, Verse 47, where Krishna tells Arjuna that a person has control over their actions, but not over the fruits of those actions.
