TEXT 41
- योगसंन्यस्तकर्माणं ज्ञानसञ्छिन्नसंशयम् ।
- आत्मवन्तं न कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय ॥४१॥
- yoga-sannyasta-karmāṇaṁ
- jñāna-sañchinna-saṁśayam
- ātmavantaṁ na karmāṇi
- nibadhnanti dhanañjaya

One who acts in devotional service, renouncing the fruits of his actions, and whose doubts have been destroyed by transcendental knowledge, is situated factually in the self. Thus he is not bound by the reactions of work, O conqueror of riches.
One who follows the instruction of the Bhagavad-gītā, as it is imparted by the Lord, the Personality of Godhead Himself, becomes free from all doubts by the grace of transcendental knowledge. He, as a part and parcel of the Lord, in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is already established in self-knowledge. As such, he is undoubtedly above bondage to action.
