Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, Verse 14

न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा | इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते ||

na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti na me karma-phale spṛhā iti māṁ yo 'bhijānāti karmabhir na sa badhyate

Actions do not taint Me, nor do I have desire for fruits of action. One who knows Me thus is not bound by actions.

Krishna reveals the secret of action without bondage. 'Na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti' (actions do not taint Me) means actions don't create karma when performed without attachment. 'Na me karma-phale spṛhā' (I have no desire for fruits) shows freedom from results. The result for those who understand this: 'karmabhir na sa badhyate' (not bound by actions). This verse shows HOW to act like Krishna acts—doing work without attachment, without desire for results. This connects back to Chapter 3's teaching about Karma Yoga—acting without attachment to fruits. The key is understanding Krishna's nature (imperishable, non-doer) and applying it to one's own action.
