For my first stanza, I choose the following lines in CHAPTER V: Of Religion by Renouncing Fruit of Works: “He that acts in thought of Brahm, Detaching end from act, with act content, The world of sense can no more stain his soul”. From this, Krishna informs Arjuna on the notion of non-attachment. For instance, Krishna explicates that Arjuna must separate his own desires in order to overcome and achieve a higher understanding of the world. In short, Arjuna must not succumb to his desires for personal gains or for materialistic possessions. He must strike a balance and reflect upon his interests.
Krishna. Therefore, who doeth work rightful to do,

The Yogi, this way knowing, Comes to the Utmost Perfect Peace at last”. I think this specific stanza talks about karma and how doing good can bring a rewarding and fulfilling life.

But to those blessed ones who worship Me,
Turning not otherwhere, with minds set fast,
I bring assurance of full bliss beyond.
Lastly, I find the last and listed stanza from Chapter IX: Of Religion by the Kingly Knowledge and the Kingly Mystery to be quite compelling. The stanza talks about how believing in God will result in a bountiful return. I find this to relate to the idea of karma, and how doing good things with pure intentions will result in good. In this instance, placing our faith in God and worshiping him will bring us everlasting
