According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

Thanks for your question and asking me to answer!

न चाति स्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन || 6. 16||

na chāti-svapna-śhīlasya jāgrato naiva chārjuna।। 6.16।।

Does the pro-choice movement realise that all the money used to subside abortions can be used to subsidize daycare and other financial support for single mothers with unplanned pregnancies?

Is there any need of sweating so much just to stay hungry? And after so much toiling from morning till evening or night, where's the energy left in you to stay hungry even? You will not only be able not to stay hungry, but you will overeat! To stay hungry, your body must in a fit condition.

If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

When you receive your salary at the month end, use ⅒ of it for Dharmic activities and the with the remaining amount, use it to keep your body in a fit condition for your sadhana and, to support your parents and other family members like your wife and children (if any).

युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दु:खहा || 6. 17||

nātyaśhnatastu yogo ’sti na chaikāntam anaśhnataḥ।

Says Sri Krishna in the 6th Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita —

If you lived in South Africa, would you support nuclear power as a solution to the country's energy woes?

A person who is moderate in food, recreation, work, sleep and waking, to such a person Yoga becomes a means to kill sorrow!

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?
