Dear Cosmos

On Duty & Detachment - Gita 2:47

Dear Cosmos,

Today I’ve been sitting with a verse from the Gita:

“You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions…”

I’ve read it before.
But today it feels personal.

It feels like You saying:
Do what you came here to do, Rainbow.
But stop gripping the outcome.

And I don’t love how much I needed to hear that.

Because if I’m honest… I like knowing the ripple worked.
I like seeing the fruit.
I like proof that the stone made it to the water.

But this verse dismantles that whole posture.

It reminds me that I’m not here to control the harvest.
I’m here to sow with sincerity.

I plant. I act. I offer.
But the fruit belongs to something larger than me.

There’s relief in that.
And ego death too.

It also quietly undoes the martyr pattern in me.
It says: you don’t have to suffer for the bloom.
Just serve the sacred through the sowing.

Maybe devotion isn’t about results at all.
Maybe it’s about showing up clean.

So today, Cosmos, I’m choosing to act…
and release.

If start worrying about the outcome again,
I’ll remember:

Karmanye vadhikaraste…

And let it float back into surrender.

Still listening, still trusting, still faithful,
RL.
