Translation

Translation

O Arjuna, when one performs his prescribed duty only because it ought to be done, and renounces all material association and all attachment to the fruit, his renunciation is said to be in the mode of goodness.

Mais le renoncement de celui qui assume son devoir par simple obligation morale, sans aucun attachement pour leurs résultats et sans entretenir de contacts matériels, relève de la vertu, ô Arjuna.

Prescribed duties must be performed with this mentality. One should act without attachment for the result; he should be disassociated from the modes of work. A man working in Kṛṣṇa consciousness in a factory does not associate himself with the work of the factory, nor with the workers of the factory. He simply works for Kṛṣṇa. And when he gives up the result for Kṛṣṇa, he is acting transcendentally.

Les devoirs prescrits doivent être accomplis avec un tel état d’esprit. On doit agir sans attachement pour les résultats obtenus et ne pas s’identifier aux divers modes de l’action. L’homme conscient de Kṛṣṇa qui travaille dans une usine ne s’identifie pas au travail de l’usine, ni aux ouvriers. Il se contente de travailler pour Kṛṣṇa. Et parce qu’il abandonne à Kṛṣṇa les fruits de son labeur, il agit de façon transcendantale.
