The Yoga of Knowledge

Krishna redefines yoga radically: not mystical practices, but 'samatvam'—equanimity. 'Yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi'—perform your duties from inner steadiness. How? 'Saṅgaṁ tyaktvā'—abandon attachment to outcomes. 'Siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā'—remain even in success or failure. This isn't apathy; it's freedom from emotional hijacking. Your peace doesn't depend on results. You give your best, then stay centered whether you succeed or fail. Why? You've done what you control (your effort) and released what you don't (outcomes). That's yoga—unshakeable steadiness in an unsteady world.
