Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 VS 1

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Somewhat more disciplinary in tone. Showing what is required of a true yogi.. as opposed to perhaps a gift seeker or a wonder worker in his or her yoga disciplines.

do your best and leave the rest

[Jitendra Hydonus]

The blessed Lord said: He is the true renunciate and also the true Yogi who performs dutiful and spiritual actions (karyam and karma) without desiring their fruits—not he who performs no fire ceremony (sacrifice) for he who abandons action.

The question arises how can a person discover his God-ordained duties? Spiritual tradition enjoins that the beginner in the path of yoga should ask his guru to advise him.  A guru who knows  God is able to determine a man’s evolutionary status and rightful duties. If, for reasons of his own, or to respect the divine secrecy pervading the phenomenal world, the guru declines to give specific advice, the student after deep meditation, should pray: “Lord, I will reason, I will will, I will act; but guide Thou my reason, will, and activity to the right thing I should do” By this method, the devotee, with the gurus inner blessing, is pushed to cultivate his own soul discrimination and thereby hasten his personal attunement with God. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
