Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 6

 Chapter 18 verse 6               

“These activities must be performed without attachment and expectation for rewards. This is my definite and supreme verdict, O Arjuna.” 

Sacrifice or other pious actions, charity and austerities/penance needs to be done with no intent on particular results or desire of obtaining something in return- recognition, fame, praise, even good merit. Bhagwan states this as a dictum and strong opinion! Even though Bhagwan knows that this is the absolute truth of how the universal laws work and how laws of karma work, he still states it as his “matam” or opinion. The real leader of men will always lead by example and here Bhagwan’s humility is for everyone to notice and follow.
