Conclusion—The Perfection of Renunciation Chapter 18: Verse- 9 käryam ity eva yat karma niyatam kriyate ’rjuna sangam tyaktvä phalam caiva sa tyägah sättviko matah TRANSLATION O Arjuna, when one performs his prescribed duty only because it ought to be done, and renounces all material association and all attachment to the fruit, his renunciation is said to be in the mode of goodness. PURPORT Prescribed duties must be performed with this mentality. One should act without attachment for the result; he should be disassociated from the modes of work. A man working in krsna consciousness in a factory does not associate himself with the work of the factory, nor with the workers of the factory. He simply works for Krsna. And when he gives up the result for Krsna, he is acting transcendentally.
