Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-3 Karma Yogaḥ

saktāḥ karmaṇy-avidvāṃso yathā kurvanti bhārata | kuryād-vidvāṃs-tathāsaktāś-cikīrṣu loka-saṅgraham || 25 || 25. Just as the ignorant act with attachment their work, O Arjuna, so should the wise act without any attachment, and only for the welfare of the world. Commentary 'The ignorant' are those people who do not know the truth about the Self; 'attached to their work' means they are inextricably bound to their actions [and their results]. Because of their incomplete grasp of the Self, they are not qualified for Jñāna Yoga — meditation on the Self. Karma Yoga should also be practiced by one who is virtuous and unattached as a result of Self-realisation, and also by one who wishes to be an example to others in virtuous conduct. Thus one should protect the world from chaos by one’s example — even though qualified for Jñāna Yoga one should practice Karma Yoga.
