The relinquisher, pervaded by purity, intelligence and with doubts cut away, hateth not unpleasurable action nor is attached to pleasurable. Nor indeed can embodied beings completely relinquish action, verily he who relinquisheth the fruit of action he is said to be a relinquisher Good, evil and mixed-threefold is the fruit of action hereafter for the non-relinquisher, but there is none ever for the renouncer." Ch. XVIII-1 to 12.
