kāryam ityeva yat karma niyataṃ kriyate’rjuna |
saṅgaṃ tyaktvā phalaṃ caiva sa tyāgaḥ sātviko mataḥ || 9 ||
9. When obligatory works are performed merely as duty, O Arjuna, renouncing attachment and
also fruits, such relinquishment is regarded as Sattvic.
na dveṣṭy-akuśalaṃ karma kuśale nānuṣajjate |
tyāgī sattva samāviṣṭo medhāvī-cchinna saṃśayaḥ || 10 ||
10. The one who has renounced, being wise and imbued with Sattva, free from doubts neither
hates disagreeable work nor clings to an agreeable one.
