Shri Rama Gita

siva.sh/shri-rama-gita/17

यावच्छारीरादिषु माययात्मधी- स्तावद्विधेयो विधिवादकर्मणाम् । नेतीति वाक्यैरखिलं निषिध्य तत् ज्ञात्वा परात्मानमथ त्यजेत्क्रियाः ॥ १७॥

sanskrit

As long as one identifies with one’s body as a result of the play of Maya, so long one must perform the sacred works prescribed by the Vedas. Thereafter, with the help of the sruti declarations of negation – “not this, not this” – one must learn to rise above one’s body identity and realize the Self – and then give up all work.
