In plain words

You are called to surrender all your worries and actions to the Divine with a focused mind. By practicing bhakti, which is loving devotion, you can perform your duties without selfish desire or anxiety. Offer the fruits of your karma, or actions, to the supreme source, and face your daily battles with a calm, peaceful, and feverless heart.
