Gīta Tātparya 18.9 and 10

One who truly understands the essence of Vishnu does not despise unskillful actions that bring visible suffering, nor does he become attached to the transient nature of sattvic virtues performed in the past. When one is free from the desire for results, their actions do not bind them. Otherwise, even a slight fault is directly perceived.

"न द्वेष्ट्यकुशलं कर्म केवलं दृष्टदुःखदम्। जन्मान्तरकृते पुण्ये न सज्जेत् सात्त्विकश्चले। यः सम्यक् तत्त्ववित् विष्णोः तदर्पणधियैव तु॥"

na dveṣṭyakusalaṃ karma kevalaṃ dṛṣṭaduḥkhadam। janmāntarakṛte puṇye na sajjeta sāttvikaścale। yaḥ samyak tattvavit viṣṇoḥ tadarpaṇadhiyaiva tu॥

[न (na) - not; द्वेष्टि (dveṣṭi) - hates; अकुशलं (akusalaṃ) - unskillful; कर्म (karma) - action; केवलं (kevalaṃ) - only; दृष्टदुःखदम् (dṛṣṭaduḥkhadam) - causing visible suffering; जन्मान्तरकृते (janmāntarakṛte) - done in another life; पुण्ये (puṇye) - in virtue; न (na) - not; सज्जेत् (sajjeta) - attached; सात्त्विकश्चले (sāttvikaścale) - in the unstable sattvic; यः (yaḥ) - who; सम्यक् (samyak) - properly; तत्त्ववित् (tattvavit) - knower of truth; विष्णोः (viṣṇoḥ) - of Vishnu; तदर्पणधियैव (tadarpaṇadhiyaiva) - with the thought of offering that; तु (tu) - indeed;]

"One who truly understands the essence of Vishnu does not despise unskillful actions that bring visible suffering, nor does he become attached to the transient nature of sattvic virtues performed in past lives. Instead, he offers everything to Vishnu with a dedicated mind."

फलेच्छावर्जितः तस्य कर्म बन्धाय नो भवेत्। बहुलं चेदल्पदोषं यावदेवापरोक्षदृक्॥

phaleccāvarjitaḥ tasya karma bandhāya no bhavet। bahulaṃ cedalpadoṣaṃ yāvadevāparokṣadṛk॥

[फलेच्छा (phaleccā) - desire for fruits; वर्जितः (varjitaḥ) - devoid of; तस्य (tasya) - his; कर्म (karma) - action; बन्धाय (bandhāya) - for bondage; नो (no) - not; भवेत् (bhavet) - becomes; बहुलं (bahulaṃ) - abundant; चेत् (cet) - if; अल्पदोषं (alpadoṣaṃ) - slight fault; यावत् (yāvat) - as long as; एव (eva) - indeed; अपरोक्षदृक् (aparokṣadṛk) - direct perception;]
