Explanation:

Arjuna's crisis in the Bhagavad Gita is his moral and emotional turmoil at the start of the Kurukshetra War, as he is reluctant to fight his kin. Krishna resolves it by teaching him about dharma, self - less action, and the nature of the self. The statement "Your concern should be with action, / never with actions fruits" means one should focus on performing one's duty without being attached to the results. This is in line with the concept of karma yoga, where self - less action is emphasized.

Arjuna's crisis is his moral and emotional reluctance to fight his kin in the Kurukshetra War. It is resolved by Krishna's teachings on dharma and self - less action. The statement means one should focus on performing duty without attachment to results.
