B.G 18.09
kāryamityeva yat karma niyataṃ kriyate'rjuna। saṅgaṃ tyaktvā phalaṃ caiva sa tyāgaḥ sāttviko mataḥ ॥9॥
O Arjuna, when an action is performed as a duty without any attachment or expectation of results, such relinquishment is regarded as being in the mode of 'sāttva', i.e. goodness.
na dveṣṭyakusalaṃ karma kuśale nānuṣajjate। tyāgī sattvasamāviṣṭo medhāvī chinnasaṃśayaḥ ॥10॥
The wise relinquisher, filled with purity and free from doubts, neither hates unskilled actions nor is attached to skilled ones.
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.
na dveṣṭyakusalaṃ karma kevalaṃ dṛṣṭaduḥkhadam। janmāntarakṛte puṇye na sajjeta sāttvikaścale। yaḥ samyak tattvavit viṣṇoḥ tadarpaṇadhiyaiva tu॥
"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."
phaleccāvarjitaḥ tasya karma bandhāya no bhavet। bahulaṃ cedalpadoṣaṃ yāvadevāparokṣadṛk॥
When one is free from the desire for results, their actions do not bind them. Otherwise, even among many actions, as long as there is only a slight fault, it is directly perceived.
iti ca ॥10॥
