Bhagavaan KrshhNa says:
" na maam karmaaNi limpanti na me karma phale spruhaa |
iti maam yaH abhijaanaati karmabhiH na saH badhyate || " [Bh giita 4.14]
" There is no work that affects Me; nor do I aspire for the fruits of action.
One who understands this truth about Me also does not become entangled in
the fruitive reactions of work."
-Ram-
