Daivī–Āsurī Sampad-Vibhāga (दैवी–आसुरी संपद्विभागः) | Division of Constructive and Destructive Dispositions
इस प्रकार महाभारत भीष्मपर्वके श्रीमद्भगगवद््गीतापव॑के अन्तर्गत ब्रह्मविद्या एवं योगशास्त्ररूप श्रीमद्भगवद््गीतोपनिषद्: श्रीकृष्णाजुनसंवादमें विश्वरूपदर्शनयोग नामक ग्यारहवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ,अथैतदप्यशक्तोडसि कर्तु मद्योगमाश्रित: । सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं ततः कुरु यतात्मवान्* यदि मेरी प्राप्तिरूप योगके आश्रित होकर उपर्युक्त साधनको करनेमें भी तू असमर्थ है तो मन-बुद्धि आदिपर विजय प्राप्त करनेवाला होकर सब कर्मोंके फलका त्याग करे
atha etad apy aśakto 'si kartuṁ mad-yogam āśritaḥ | sarva-karma-phala-tyāgaṁ tataḥ kuru yatātmavān ||
If, even while taking refuge in yoga directed toward Me, you are unable to practice the disciplines described above, then—having gained mastery over yourself—renounce the fruits of all actions. In the midst of duty and conflict, the ethical pivot is clear: act as required, but release possessive claim over outcomes, so that responsibility remains without bondage.

Educational Q&A
When higher disciplines feel difficult, Krishna offers an accessible ethical practice: perform your duties but renounce attachment to results. This reduces ego-driven anxiety and turns action into a means of inner freedom rather than bondage.
In Krishna’s graded instruction to Arjuna, after presenting more demanding paths, he gives a practical alternative suited to limited capacity: take refuge in him and, at minimum, practice relinquishing the fruits of all actions while maintaining self-control.
