Bhagavad Gita 5.12 — Peace by letting go of results

युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम्। अयुक्तः कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते ॥

yuktaḥ karmaphalaṃ tyaktvā śāntimāpnoti naiṣṭhikīm | ayuktaḥ kāmakāreṇa phale sakto nibadhyate ||

Meaning

The one steady in yoga, who gives up the fruit of action, gains lasting peace. The one driven by desire and attached to results stays bound.
