Bhagavad Gita 6.1
श्री भगवानुवाच · śrī bhagavānuvāca
अनाश्रितः कर्मफलं कार्यं कर्म करोति यः।स संन्यासी च योगी च न निरग्निर्न चाक्रियः॥
anāśritaḥ karmaphalaṃ kāryaṃ karma karoti yaḥ |sa saṃnyāsī ca yogī ca na niragnirna cākriyaḥ ||
The Blessed Lord said: He who performs his bounden duty without depending on the fruits of his actions—he is a sannyasi and a yogi, not he who is without fire and without action.
Lord Shri Krishna said: He who acts out of duty, without considering the consequences, is truly spiritual and a true ascetic; not he who merely observes rituals or shuns all action.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
