Brahmani adhaya karmani sangam tyaktva karoti yah I
Lipyate na sa papena padma patram iva ambhasa II sloka 10
ब्रह्मणि आधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः ।
लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्म पत्रं इव अम्भसा ।। श्लोक १०
He who acts, abandoning attachment, dedicating his deeds to Brahman, is untainted by sin as a lotus leaf by water.
The life, growth and sustenance of the lotus are all dependent on water. It dries away when severed from it. While constantly in touch with it, the lotus leaf does not permit getting wet with water. Man is born with karma and sustained by it. While fully availing himself of it, the yogi does not get affected by it.
How the yogi avails himself of karma is explained in the next sloka.
