Verse 2.10.44

कर्तव्यमस्ति न ममेह हि किंचिदेव स्थातव्यमित्यतिमना भुवि संस्थितोऽस्मि ।
संशान्तया सततसुप्तधियेह वृत्या कार्य करोमि न च किंचिदहं करोमि ॥ ४४ ॥

kartavyamasti na mameha hi kiṃcideva sthātavyamityatimanā bhuvi saṃsthito'smi |
saṃśāntayā satatasuptadhiyeha vṛtyā kārya karomi na ca kiṃcidahaṃ karomi || 44 ||

I have no duty to perform here, but live while I have to live free from all cares. I do my acts always with as tranquil a mind as it were in a state of sleep; I do my works with the body; but I do nothing here with my soul.
