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

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!

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).
