Krishna drops the ladder of grace to its absolute lowest, most accessible rung. He states: If, however (atha), you are unable and powerless to do even this (etad apy aśakto 'si kartuṃ)—meaning you cannot bring yourself to work consciously and directly for Me (mad-yogam āśritaḥ)—then there is still a path. Taking shelter of your own self-control (yatātmavān), you should simply perform your actions while giving up and renouncing all the fruits and results of your work (sarva-karma-phala-tyāgaṃ tataḥ kuru).
