दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय। बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः॥
durena hy avaram karma buddhiyogad dhananjaya buddhau sharanam anvichcha kripanah phalahetavah
Translation
Action with selfish motive is far inferior to action with equanimity of mind, O Dhananjaya. Take refuge in the yoga of understanding. Pitiable are those who are motivated by results.
Commentary
Krishna declares that working for results makes one spiritually poor. The truly wealthy person is one who acts with wisdom and equanimity, finding fulfillment in the action itself rather than its outcome.
