Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
इस प्रकार संन्यासयोग (त्याग और भक्ति) से युक्त-चित्त होकर तू शुभ और अशुभ कर्मफलों के बन्धन से मुक्त हो जाएगा — और विमुक्त (मुक्त) होकर मुझे प्राप्त होगा।
English Translation
Thus, with your mind established in the Yoga of renunciation, you shall be freed from the bondage of both good and bad karmic results. Liberated, you shall come to Me.
Commentary (टीका)
The fruit of offering all actions to God is freedom from both positive and negative karma. Good karma binds one to pleasant experiences (like heaven), and bad karma binds to suffering — but both are still bondage. True liberation transcends both, and it comes through the attitude of complete inner renunciation while remaining active in the world.
