अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम् । भवत्यत्यागिनां प्रेत्य न तु सन्न्यासिनां क्वचित् ॥ १२ ॥
aniṣhṭam iṣhṭaṁ miśhraṁ cha tri-vidhaṁ karmaṇaḥ phalam bhavaty atyāgināṁ pretya na tu sannyāsināṁ kvachit
Translation
The threefold fruit of action, unwanted, wanted and mixed, comes after death to those who have not relinquished; but never to those who have renounced.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो कर्मफल का त्याग नहीं करते, उन्हें मरने के बाद अनिष्ट, इष्ट और मिश्रित, यह तीन प्रकार का कर्मफल मिलता है; परंतु संन्यासियों (कर्मफल त्यागने वालों) को कभी नहीं मिलता।
Commentary
Actions done with attachment produce results that must be experienced later: painful, pleasant or mixed. When the fruit is truly given up, the action leaves no karmic residue. This is how karma yoga leads to liberation and not just to better rebirths.
