Renouncing all actions in Me, with mind focused on the Self, without expectations, without sense of ‘mine,’ free of fever — fight!

Kṛṣṇa synthesizes karma yoga in a direct instruction:

Mayi sarvāṇi karmāṇi saṃnyasya — renouncing all actions in Me. Not abandoning action but dedicating it, offering it. Each act as an offering.

Adhyātma-cetasā — with the mind (cetas) directed toward the Self (adhyātma). Interiorized consciousness, not scattered among objects.

Nirāśīḥ — without hopes, without expectations about the fruits.

Nirmamaḥ — without sense of “mine,” without possessiveness.

Vigata-jvaraḥ — free of fever. Jvara is the burning agitation of desire, anxiety, internal conflict. The feverish mind wants, fears, doubts.

Yudhyasva — fight! The command is active, not passive. Not to withdraw from the world but to engage fully, yet with a transformed attitude.

This verse combines devotion (mayi), self-knowledge (adhyātma), and action (yudhyasva) in an integral formula.
