Chapter 4: Jñāna Karm Sanyās Yog
tyaktvā karma-phalāsaṅgaṁ nitya-tṛipto nirāśhrayaḥ
karmaṇyabhipravṛitto ’pi naiva kiñchit karoti saḥ||20||

Meaning : One who works without wanting rewards, who is always fulfilled and relies on nothing, is truly detached. Though they perform actions, their spirit remains untouched, like a lotus leaf that remains dry despite water. Such a person is not bound by karma because their actions do not create bondage.
