अकर्तृत्वपदं पीत्वा पीत्वेच्छामपि कुर्वतः ।
सर्वभावान्तरस्थस्य सर्वातीतस्य चात्मनः ॥ २६ ॥

akartṛtvapadaṃ pītvā pītvecchāmapi kurvataḥ |
sarvabhāvāntarasthasya sarvātītasya cātmanaḥ || 26 ||

Shun your desires and the thought of your agency, even when you are doing any thing at all. (The soul residing in the body, is yet aloof from all its acts, though its presence in the body, justifies its being accessary to if not the accomplice of them.
