Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 51
The wise, possessed of this evenness of mind, giving up the fruits of their actions, freed forever from the fetters of birth, go to that state which is beyond all evil.
Chasing results is what keeps the whole cycle running. Letting go of that grip is what finally breaks it.
People keep reaching for outcomes hoping this time it will finally satisfy them, and it never fully does. Releasing that grip isn't giving up, it's the actual way out of a pattern that was never going to end on its own.
