English Translation

Actions do not taint me, nor do I desire the fruits of action. Knowing me in this way, one who engages in action is not bound. This emphasizes the freedom from attachment and the ideal way of engaging in the worldly responsibilities.

हिंदी अनुवाद

कर्म मुझको प्रभावित नहीं करते, न ही मैं कर्मों के फलों की इच्छा करता हूँ। इस प्रकार मुझे जानने वाला, जो भी कर्म में संलग्न होता है, बंधन में नहीं पड़ता। यह आसक्ति से मुक्ति और संसारिक जिम्मेदारियों में संलग्न होने का आदर्श तरीका दर्शाता है।
