Chapter 17: Verse- 25

tad ity anabhisandhäya phalam yajna-tapah-kriyah
däna-kriyäs ca vividhäh kriyante moksa-känksibhih[1]

TRANSLATION

Without desiring fruitive results, one should perform various kinds of sacrifice, penance and charity with the word tat. The purpose of such transcendental activities is to get free from material entanglement.


PURPORT

To be elevated to the spiritual position, one should not act for any material gain. Acts should be performed for the ultimate gain of being transferred to the spiritual kingdom, back to home, back to Godhead.
