If we thing we are good enough, why would we become any better? So Chesterton says that tha man must doubt of his own capabilities, be modest about them...so in this way he will deliver his best, because he knows: what he intends to realize is not certain by his own capabilities...The man who thinks...

Wow, that's really deep... šŸ™ but I still have some uncertainties... Like while deciding what to do and what not to do, we imagine the possible outcome of the action and based on that imagination, we decide whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to do. At least I do that all the time. So when Krishna says that don't worry about the result, I get confused, because if I don't think about the result than how am I supposed to know if the thing I am going to do would be good thing or not?

Most of the time either a possibility of getting rewarded or getting satisfactied is what empowers me to do all the required things. How can I get that motivation if I don't think about the result at first place?

Okay, I found it interesting, as I know it's not true but still, I love to think that Mahadev (a Hindu God) with his Trishul (an ancient weapon) is protecting me and my family when I hear a news of some communal clash, basically Hindu-Muslim riot, or perhaps a news of some innocent teen girl getting raped and killed. But at that same time, I am also like "Hey girl, save your own ass, Mahadev gave away his Trishul long ago!" Every time I go somewhere, specially after evening, and alone, I wish there is a strict,reliable police man standing nearby as I realize that I am not capable enough to save myself if something bad happens to me. But at the same time, I remember all the atrocities done by the Police personals in CAA protest and I am like "okay... may be just a having a peeper spray or keeping my phone camera ready would be a better option!"
