The fruits of your actions: most people here probably already know to avoid this, but this passage just kind of struck me,

The Gita by Yogananda, Chap II verse 48:

"Any yogi practicing meditation who is impatient or easily disturbed by the seemingly meager and slow results of meditation is acting with a selfish motive focused on the fruits of his actions.

He should meditate only with the thought of pleasing and loving God; then yoga, or divine union with the immutable Spirit, is sure to follow."

Sure makes it easier for me.

O Arjuna, remaining immersed in yoga, perform all actions, forsaking attachment (to their fruits), being indifferent to success and failure. This mental evenness is termed yoga. Verse 48 Chapter 2 the Gita

Mental evenness is the native state of the soul. The ordinary man, identifying himself with this world, divorces his consciousness from union with Spirit. The remedy for this all-to-often disastrous disassociation lies in performing one's actions while inwardly united with the joy of Spirit. God's consciousness is perpetually in the state of yoga or everlasting evenness that remains unaffected  by the incessant changes of creation. Man also, made in God's image, should learn to manifest that divine equilibrium by which he can live and act in this world without being victimized by it's dualities. PY
