mindful of who you truly are
and whom you truly belong to-
to ME
centered, reposing in your own self

neither stuck in the
small "me, mine"-
the source of sorrow
nor postponing the freedom
to the morrow.
Work, fight, act
for me, in me, as me
free from feverishness...

the uncomplaining ones who
with trust and faith
and without excuses this path follow
are freed from all karma-debt
both that which they incur
and which they borrow
and the fools deluded by
"i know it all"- ignorant of their ignorance
stuck with the fault finding eye
destroy their mind,
intelligence, awareness...

Dr. Ramanand Prasad's version

Dedicating all works to Me in a spiritual frame of mind, free from desire, attachment, and mental grief, do your duty. (3.30)

Those who always practice this teaching of Mine, with faith and free from cavil, are freed from the bondage of Karma. (3.31)

But, those who carp at My teaching and do not practice it, consider them as ignorant of all knowledge, senseless, and lost. (3.32)
