Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 3, Verse 18

नैव तस्य कृतेनार्थो नाकृतेनेह कश्चन । न चास्य सर्वभूतेषु कश्चिदर्थव्यपाश्रयः ॥ १८ ॥

naiva tasya kṛitenārtho nākṛiteneha kaśhchana na chāsya sarva-bhūteṣhu kaśhchid artha-vyapāśhrayaḥ

Translation

Such a person has nothing to gain here by acting, nor anything to lose by not acting, and does not depend on any being for any purpose.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

उस महापुरुष का इस लोक में न तो कर्म करने से कोई प्रयोजन है और न कर्म न करने से, और न ही सब प्राणियों में उसका किसी से कोई स्वार्थ का संबंध रहता है।

Commentary

The realised person is completely free — neither driven to act nor afraid of not acting, and not using anyone for personal ends. That inner freedom is the goal of karma yoga, not a reason to skip it.
