Gita on Detachment, Saṃsāra, and the World Tree

How do I care about life without clinging so hard it hurts?

Letting go sounds cold until you are the one exhausted from gripping outcomes, praise, or safety. The Gita pictures life as an upside-down tree—and asks you to cut attachment without becoming numb. These verses are for praise-and-blame days, and for acting well while knowing you are not the only doer.
