Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita (“Song of God”) is a 700-verse Sanskrit scripture that forms part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. It presents a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna on the eve of battle, exploring duty (dharma), right action (karma yoga) — acting without attachment to outcomes — and the nature of the self.

The karma yoga teaching — do what you are meant to do and let go of the results — is cited by naval-ravikant as a key philosophical influence underpinning his happiness-philosophy (specifically the removal of desire from action as the path to inner peace).
