The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu epic, tells us that we are entitled only to our WORK. We are not entitled to the FRUITS of our work. So...what does that mean? And *is* there wisdom in detaching ourselves from expected results? What if we work forever and never see anything come back? What if keeping our eye on the prize ruins the work? What if we get the prize...and it doesn't make us feel what we thought it would? We really get into it this week, wrestling with this ancient edict; easily our most back and forth conversation yet. Don't miss it!
