ज्ञानाद्गलितकर्मा यो लोकदृष्ट्यापि कर्मकृत्, नाप्नोत्यवसरं कर्तुं वक्तुमेव न किञ्चन। ॥75॥
jñānā-dgalita-karmā yo lokadṛṣṭyāpi karmakṛt, nāpnotyavasaraṁ kartuṁ vaktum-eva na kiñcana. (75)
This verse suggests that a person who has gained true wisdom no longer feels attached to their actions and may still perform tasks as others do, but they find no personal significance in what they do or say. Their understanding transcends ordinary concerns, leaving them detached from the outcomes of their work.
