| The performance of one's own duty is worship of Him from Whom has emanated all beings, and by Whom all this is pervaded, and by such worships a man attains the goal.
XVIII-46
Better is one's own duty, though unhonoured, than the work of another even if well performed. He who does the work indicated by his own nature incurs no sin.
XVIII-47
The work to which you are born, though involving defects, ought not to be abandoned. All undertakings, indeed, are clouded by defects as fire by smoke.
XVIII-48
He who holds his inner Spirit unbound, whatever he may do, whose self is well-controlled and who is free from desire, attains by such renunciation that supreme goal which is the aim of renunciation of action.
