My Understanding : When you are bound by karmic relationships, you focus more on the results rather than the process. As a result, your concentration shifts to the outcomes, and your efforts become less sincere. You begin to only see the benefits of what you’re doing. But if you approach work this way, will you achieve your desired results? No, despite working hard, you won’t get the outcomes you seek. The lack of genuine effort and focus will prevent you from attaining what you truly desire.
