You got the win. It lasted about an hour. The verse doesn’t say stop wanting the result. It says the result was never the part you owned. Bhagavad Gītā 2.47 · tr. Chinmayananda
What it says
You got the promotion, and the feeling lasted about an hour.
The line I keep coming back to: thy right is to work only, never to its fruits.
The verse never says stop wanting the result — only that the result isn’t yours.
Wanting it is fine; owning it isn’t — that gap is niṣkāma karma.
So tomorrow, before one task, take ten seconds to name what would make it good.
That’s Decoded, where one Sanskrit word gets its real range back.
