> If anything it seems to promote rent seekers by telling you - stick to your lane and don't complain. I.e. the caste system

I was wondering if that would come up and HN delivers without fail. Anyway, you are free to interpret it as you see fit.

The guidance was for someone who was struggling with a moral dillema on facing relatives in war and undecided over action. It is not a diktat to work or provide unquestion labor.

For anyone who understood the whole story and backdrop of the situation, a reasonable interpretation is

- you are responsible for your actions but you cannot control the consequences of your actions due to many factors.

- When you detach yourselves from results, you can do your job without anxiety.

- do not let the fear over results be an excuse for inaction.

Give it a read and decide for yourselves if you are not convinced. Even without the teachings part, the whole story of Gita is actually an epic story/novel with some strong and conflicted characters with elaborate back stories.
