According to the Gita, how do I abandon fruits of my karma? Should I donate my whole salary and stay hungry?

When you receive your salary at the month end, use ⅒ of it for Dharmic activities and the with the remaining amount, use it to keep your body in a fit condition for your sadhana and, to support your parents and other family members like your wife and children (if any).

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!

What is the most inappropriate thing your wife has done in front of you?

Says Sri Krishna in the 6th Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita —

Abandoning the fruits of actions means you offer the results of your actions to God. This doesn't mean that you will not receive the fruits of your actions. You certainly will! But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!

Why do flat earthers think using globetrotter, globetard, and other insults will make the educated arguer fall for the silly flat-earth belief?

There must be a sense of balance in all your activities avoiding the two extremes of being a workaholic and being a lazy person. Similarly in your eating, sleeping, relaxing, you must be moderate.

You can as well stay hungry without earning! Why waste your time and energy in toiling from dawn to dusk just to earn money, donate all of them and stay hungry?

A person who is moderate in food, recreation, work, sleep and waking, to such a person Yoga becomes a means to kill sorrow!
