O Partha, these works and other works, should be performed without any attachments and desire for their fruits. This is my settled view.

O Arjuna, the workd prescribed by the scriptures should not be given up. Therefore, giving up of the works prescribed by the scriptures, under some delusion, is called the relinquishment of inert nature.

If a person gives up his works because it is sorrowful or physically painful, such a relinquishment is of passionate nature and the rewards of such works do not accrue to the relinquisher.
