The ignorant take delight in the beauty of the words and the flowery structure of Vedas. They regard heaven as the highest object of acquisition
The desirous consider the benefits of acquiring heaven as the prime object of
acquisition and concern themselves with rites for attaining pleasure and profit
For attaining pleasure and profit, they sweet talk and delude their hearts and minds. The deluded mind is unable to steadfastly hold itself and remain firmly devoted to the objective
Arjuna, Vedas concern themselves with the triple aggregate: Duty, profit, pleasure. One who is unaffected by this triple aggregate, the one who is unaffected by the dualities of life and adheres to patience without anxiety for new acquisitions or protecting those acquired, goes beyond the three qualities of nature: goodness, passion, darkness
The use of Vedas for the one who goes beyond the three qualities of nature, is same as the use of water from his well when a vast reservoir of pure water that extends all around
You shall not have inclination for inaction. Your concern should only be with work. But not with the results. The results of your work should not become the motive for work
