योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनंजय ।
निःसङ्गस्त्वं यथाप्राप्तकर्मवान्न निबध्यसे ॥ १६ ॥

yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā dhanaṃjaya |
niḥsaṅgastvaṃ yathāprāptakarmavānna nibadhyase || 16 ||

Do you duty, O Arjuna, with your yoga or fixed attention to it, and avoid all company (in order to keep company with the object of your pursuit only). If you do your works as they come to you by yourself alone, you will never fail nor be foiled in any. i.e. thy object thou canst never gain, unless from all others you refrain.
