Yuktah karma phalam tyaktva shantim apnoti naishti kim I
Ayuktah kama karena phale sakto nibadhyate II sloka 12
युक्तः कर्म फलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिं आप्नोति नैष्टि किं ।
अयुक्तः काम करेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते ।। श्लोक १२
Abandoning the fruit of action, the yogi attains peace born of steadfastness; impelled by desire, the non-yogi is bound, attached to fruit.
Performance of karma is common to both, the yogi and the non-yogi. But the difference between the two is in the disposition. The feeling of agency to action is no more in the former. Whatever takes place through his instrumentality, is the Lord's work. His steadfastness consists of his mind being released from work and of its being immersed in the Lord. In this state of mind there is no anxiety; there is calmness instead; the mind gets itself steadily purified. it becomes fit for enlightenment. On the other side, the non-yogi gets entangled in work; anxiety is on the increase in him.
