The Gita according to Gandhi -Mahadev Desai

DISCOURCE 3 17. But the man who revels in Atman, who is content in Atman and who is satisfied only with Atman, for him no action exists. 18. He has no interest whatever in anything done, nor in anything not done, nor has he need to rely on anything for personal ends. 19. Therefore, do thou ever perform without attachment the work that thou must do; for performing action without attachment man attains the Supreme. 20. For through action alone Janaka and others achieved perfection; even with a view to the guidance of mankind thou must act. 21. Whatever the best man does, is also done by other men, what example he sets, the world follows. 22. For me, O Partha, there is naught to do in the three worlds, nothing worth gaining that I have not gained; yet I am ever in action.
