Sanskrit

कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः। जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम्।।2.51।।

karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣhiṇaḥ janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṁ gachchhanty-anāmayam

Meaning

Focus on the work itself, not outcomes. Release attachment to results, and you'll find clarity, reduce stress, and make better decisions unburdened by fear.

Translation

For those devoted to wisdom, they become enlightened men by giving up the fruits of their actions, and thus they reach a state beyond evil, having been freed from the bondage of birth.
