General definition (in Hinduism)
: Shivagami's blog: HinduismNirāśīr – is to be free from hankering for the rewards of the actions. This means to do actions ‘with� happiness rather than ‘for� happiness, and to let go of worrying (about results). Worrying is not a deliberate action – it is a sign of not being in control. Again do not confuse with Planning – Planning is a good thing – we should plan for right actions and for rightful goals. Mahatma Gandhi had rightful goals, so did Mother Terasa. Having a goal and planning for it is a good thing, but worrying is not a good thing.
