कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ।।

karmaṇyevādhikāraste mā phaleṣu kadācana ।
mā karmaphalaheturbhūrmā te saṅgo'stvakarmaṇi ।।

कर्मणि एव​ - ordained karma-s, ते - you अधिकार​: - have rights, फलेषु - those fruits, कदाचन - at any time, मा - don’t have (attachment), कर्मफलहेतु: - thinking you as karta (doer) of karma-s and enjoyer of it’s fruits, मा भू: - don’t become,

अकर्मणि - without doing ordained karma-s, ते - you, सङ्ग: - attachment, मा अस्तु - don’t have

Nitya, Naimittika & kamya karma-s have different phala-s. Whatever be the nature of outcome, submit the fruits of actions to Him. Don't ever imagine that "I am doing this karma". Instead always think of you as an instrument used by Bhagwan to do it

Think of Him as the pradhana (main) karta of all your karma-s. Even simple acts of eating etc.. are submitted at His lotus feet. Karma-s are always Bhagavad-preethi & is definitely not for our preethi

Also, do not avoid doing your ordained karma-s. Even though you are not enjoying it's phala-s, the bigger & most beneficial outcome is that Bhagwan is satisfied by it (Bhagwat Preeti)

Additionally do not submit wasteful/bad karma-s (not specified by shastras) to Him!

You have adhikara only in karma-s. Not in jnana-nishta. Also, you never assume to have adhikara in karma-phala. Don't develop preethi in non-action..

You only have adhikara for doing yaga etc.. as ordained in shastras. You don't have adhikara over phala-s like svarga-praapti etc..

Donate the phala-s to Me. By doing so, you'll gain bhagavad-jnana, bhakti, vairagya & all other qualities that help you to attain Moksha
