Hi, To improve your speed in QA, try solving around 50–60 questions between every two mock attempts.

At this stage, consistent practice is key. The more questions you expose yourself to, the better your speed and question selection will become in the actual exam.

Don't let your mock scores discourage you. Focus on practising more questions, analysing your mistakes and improving with every attempt. You will gradually start seeing the difference in your performance.

One of the most quoted verses from the Bhagavad Gita is this line spoken by Shri Krishna Ji to Arjuna Ji:

“Karmanye vadhikaraste, ma phaleshu kadachana.”
You have the right to perform your duty, but never to the fruits of your actions. (Gita 2.47)

At first glance, many people misunderstand this teaching.

Some think it means results don’t matter.
Others think it means we shouldn’t care about success or failure.

But that’s not really what Krishna Ji is teaching.

The context is important.

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna Ji is overwhelmed. He sees his teachers, relatives, and friends on the other side. His mind becomes trapped in fear, doubt, and the possible consequences of the war.

What if I lose?
What if this destroys my family?
What if this decision brings suffering?

His mind is stuck in future outcomes.

That’s when Krishna Ji explains the principle of Karma Yoga.

The problem isn’t action.
The problem is attachment to results.

When we become obsessed with outcomes, our mind becomes restless. Fear of failure weakens us. Desire for success distracts us.

But when we focus fully on the action itself, something changes.

We act with clarity.
We act with discipline.
We act with sincerity.

The result may still come or it may not, but our inner stability remains untouched.

This teaching is actually very practical.

A student studies, but cannot control the exact exam questions.
A farmer plants seeds, but cannot control the rain.
A warrior fights with skill, but cannot control the entire battlefield.

We control effort, not everything else.

That is the heart of Karma Yoga.

It’s not about ignoring results.
It’s about not letting the results control your mind.

Ironically, when someone focuses deeply on the action rather than obsessing over the outcome, the chances of success often become higher.

Because their mind becomes calm, sharp, and fully present.

In that sense, Krishna Ji’s advice to Arjuna Ji is timeless.

Freedom doesn’t come from controlling the world.

It comes from mastering how we act within it.
