निराशीर्यतचित्तात्मा त्यक्तसर्वपरिग्रहः । शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वन्नाप्नोति किल्बिषम्॥६-२६-२१॥

Without expectation, with mind and self disciplined, having abandoned all possessiveness, performing only bodily action, he incurs no moral fault.

english translation

यदृच्छालाभसंतुष्टो द्वंद्वातीतो विमत्सरः । समः सिद्धावसिद्धौ च कृत्वापि न निबध्यते॥६-२६-२२॥

Content with whatever gain comes unbidden, beyond the pairs of opposites, free from envy, and even-minded in success and failure—though acting, he is not bound.

english translation

गतसङ्गस्य मुक्तस्य ज्ञानावस्थितचेतसः । यज्ञायाचरतः कर्म समग्रं प्रविलीयते॥६-२६-२३॥

For one free from attachment, liberated, with consciousness established in knowledge, and who acts for the sake of yajña, action is wholly dissolved as a source of bondage.

english translation

ब्रह्मार्पणं ब्रह्महविर्ब्रह्माग्नौ ब्रह्मणा हुतम् । ब्रह्मैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रह्मकर्मसमाधिना॥६-२६-२४॥

The offering is Brahman; the oblation is Brahman; by Brahman it is offered into the fire that is Brahman. Brahman alone is attained by one absorbed in Brahman as action.

english translation

दैवमेवापरे यज्ञं योगिनः पर्युपासते । ब्रह्माग्नावपरे यज्ञं यज्ञेनैवोपजुह्वति॥६-२६-२५॥

Some yogins revere sacrifice offered solely to the deities; others, by sacrifice itself, offer sacrifice into the fire of Brahman.
