Wow, that's really deep... 🙏 but I still have some uncertainties... Like while deciding what to do and what not to do, we imagine the possible outcome of the action and based on that imagination, we decide whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to do. At least I do that all the time. So when Krishna says that don't worry about the result, I get confused, because if I don't think about the result than how am I supposed to know if the thing I am going to do would be good thing or not?
Most of the time either a possibility of getting rewarded or getting satisfactied is what empowers me to do all the required things. How can I get that motivation if I don't think about the result at first place?

"When the man for himself is enough, he do not have the need to improve himself, to become better." - that part is kind of confusing to me.
This question is very tricky indeed, is also kind a doubt for me, I am/was reading Bhagad Gita with comentaries of Paramahansa Vishwananda, and eventually it pops out for me too...My personal answer for this concern is that there is a ultimate goal and an ultimate result that is God...So we should keep this in mind as the intended result of our actions, by focusing our mind on Him, it could be praying, shanting mantra, remembering images, whatever...in this way things should make sense...But of course we are not saints, there should be a long way (or not) to get there, because the plenty of this state should only be achieved by God's Grace, and by our efforts, we could only give our tries to surrender the results of our efforts to Him, we will rise and fall until the moment comes and we attain His Grace
If we thing we are good enough, why would we become any better? So Chesterton says that tha man must doubt of his own capabilities, be modest about them...so in this way he will deliver his best, because he knows: what he intends to realize is not certain by his own capabilities...The man who thinks he is capable of everything, becomes useless, degenerate himself because he stop to try...he becomes demotivated, nut also, insecure...its a reflex of our time, when people start believing in things like "science is more important than philosopy or tradition" or "tradition ia not important at all"...these people deny the condition of existence of what they say they believe...I think it is something on this way
