Whoever understands me thus, action bonds do not bind him.

Obligations do not taint Me; there is no desire for the results of actions in Me. The bonds of actions fail for whoever understands this about me.

Translation

Works do not bind Me, because I have no desire for the fruits of work. The one who understands this truth is (also) not bound by Karma.

Translation

There is no work that affects Me; nor do I aspire for the fruits of action. One who understands this truth about Me also does not become entangled in the fruitive reactions of work.
