Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation
Bhagavad Gita 18.6
एतान्यपि तु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा फलानि च ।
कर्तव्यानीति मे पार्थ निश्चितं मतमुत्तमम् ॥
etānyapi tu karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā phalāni ca | kartavyānīti me pārtha niścitaṃ matamuttamam ||
But even these actions should be done while giving up attachment and giving up their fruits. This, Arjuna, is my settled and final view.
Modern context
'Even these should be done without attachment and without desire for their fruits. This is my settled and final view.' Krishna has spent seventeen chapters on this, and now he states it as a conclusion. Do what is good. Do not cling to it. Do not do it for reward. It is simple to say and lifelong to practise.
