Cease from anxiety

The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, 

as the squirrels manifest,no concern 

whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not,

 and finish the labor every day, 

relinquishing all claims to the product of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind

 not only to his first but his last fruits also
Pg.88 Walden Thoreau

Finish the labor every day -

 give away all the claims - relinquish
do not claim any entitlement to the fruits
this is the karma-yoga -

 you are entitled to the duty 

- not to the outcomes;

for to do the duty is in your control;
for the outcomes are not in your control;
if you realize this
you shall cease from anxiety!
