Renunciation and the Discipline of Action
सम्बन्ध-- यहॉँतक भगवान्ने बहुत-से हेतु बतलाकर यह बात सिद्ध की कि जबतक मनुष्यको परम श्रेयरूप परमात्माकी प्राप्ति न हो जाय
tasmād asaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ karma samācara | asakto hy ācaran karma param āpnoti pūruṣaḥ ||
Maka, hendaklah engkau sentiasa tanpa keterikatan dan lakukanlah dengan baik pekerjaan yang wajib dilakukan. Kerana orang yang berbuat tanpa keterikatan akan mencapai Yang Maha Tinggi.
