Lord Krisna adises his disciple, Prince Arjuna

"You have right to work only, but never to expect result."

In other words, practice Kriya or make sadhana (meditation) abandoning the expectation of the

results (niskam karma) to free yourself from the bondages (attachment) of the accrued results,

good or bad, thereby, as a freed man of all results, you can achieve absolute freedom, eternal

peace and tranquility (Sthirattva). This is the only way one can attain eternal liberation,

Brahma-Niravan. Making yourself free from the accrued results by abandoning the expectation in

the first place is the key to attain eternal liberation. There is no other way: Nanya pantha

bidyate ayanaya. Remember, expectations constitute bondage, while abandoning desires delivers

absolute freedom.
Krisna is showing the universal form (Biswarup) to Arjuna.

The lord said: "Behold the thousands of forms and various kinds of things; I am in the atoms

of various colors." "You cannot see with the gross eyes. I am giving you an eye like the sky

(ethereal divine eye). By that divine eye (Divya Chaksu) you can see the manifestation of the

Lord (supreme self, in between the eyebrows through the practice of Yonimudra in the Kutastha)

through the oneness of Yoga." The Bhabavad Gita 11:5, 8
