Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya
B.G 3.09
यज्ञार्थात् कर्मणोन्यत्र लोकोयं कर्मबन्धनः। तदर्थं कर्म कौन्तेय मुक्तसङ्गः समाचर ॥९॥
yajñārthāt karmaṇōnyatra lōkōyaṁ karmabandhanaḥ। tadarthaṁ karma kauntēya muktasaṅgaḥ samācara ॥9॥
Actions must be performed as a sacrifice to worship the Lord. Otherwise, actions performed for the wordly sake lead to bondage. So, practice actions without attachment, with equanimity, for His sake.
Gīta Bhāshya 3.09
'Yajna' - action performed for the sake of lord Vishnu. Action performed for the sake of lord Vishnu, with 'muktasaṅga', i.e. free from attachment, does not lead to bondage.
"A being is bound by actions."
Such testimonials attribute bondage to action. Hence, it is said in the verse - 'yajñārthāt' i.e. 'for the sake of Yajna'.
'Bondage due to action' is for the one who performs an action for the sake of this world. 'Yajna' means lord Vishnu. "The action performed for the sake of Yajna,(i.e lord Vishnu), without attachment (to the wordly affair) will not cause bondage" - is the meaning. Hence, the adjective 'muktasaṅga', i.e. 'free from attachment', is specially used.
"One who desires material desires"
-is also the Vēdic testimonial.
The verse 18.12 (aniṣṭamiṣṭam) states the same. It is also reiterated in 18.6 (ētānyapi tu karmāṇi) verse.
"Therefore, one should not give up one's duties or responsibilities willingly."
-is also the testemonial (from Brihadaranyaka.3.15).
In the case of special equal statements, the one with the adjective qualifier (i.e. 'muktasaṅga', 'free from attachment') persists.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
