Verse 6.54.26

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ।
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनंजय ॥ २६ ॥

mā karmaphalaheturbhūrmā te saṅgo'stvakarmaṇi |
yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā dhanaṃjaya || 26 ||

Do not do thy works in expectation of their rewards, nor engage thyself to do any thing that is not thy duty or improper for thee. Go on doing thy duties as in thy yoga or fixed meditation, and not in connection with other's or their rewards.
