शान्तब्रह्मवपुर्भूत्वा कर्म ब्रह्ममयं कुरु ।
ब्रह्मार्पणसमाचारो ब्रह्मैव भवसि क्षणात् ॥ १७ ॥

śāntabrahmavapurbhūtvā karma brahmamayaṃ kuru |
brahmārpaṇasamācāro brahmaiva bhavasi kṣaṇāt || 17 ||

Be as quiet as the person of Brahma, and do your works as quietly as Brahma does leave his result (whether good or bad) to Brahma (because you can have no command over the consequence), and by doing so, assimilate thyself into the nature of Brahma.
