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

युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दु:खहा || 6. 17||

yukta-svapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkha-hā।। 6.17

Is there any need of sweating so much just to stay hungry? And after so much toiling from morning till evening or night, where's the energy left in you to stay hungry even? You will not only be able not to stay hungry, but you will overeat! To stay hungry, your body must in a fit condition.

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

O Arjuna! Yoga is not for him who eats too much or doesn't eat all; Yoga is not for him who sleeps too much or doesn't sleep at all

न चाति स्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन || 6. 16||

If you want to donate your whole salary and stay hungry, why work at all in the first place?

Is a man who enjoys anal sex considered a sissy? For those who think so, why can't they be thought of as someone who enjoys a variety of sexual pleasure?

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!

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).

What factors may contribute to intelligent individuals identifying as Republican rather than Democrat in the United States today?

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नत: |

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!

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?
