The greatest lesson of Karma Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita is found at the end (Chapter 18 - The Yoga of Renunciation of Action - Karma Sannyasa Yoga, verse 63), when Sri Krishna tells Arjuna:
«Thus I have exposed to you the most mysterious of all knowledge; he totally meditates on it and then acts as you wish» Bhagavad Gita 18-63.
Sri Krishna never ordered Arjuna to do anything, as a good teacher showed him the path of wisdom, and at the end he told him: “Meditate completely on it, and then act as you wish”, that is, Sri Krishna detached himself from the fruits of the results of his explanation.
