working without addiction to results

Working without addiction is always better than withdrawing from work, thinking it will overcome the addiction of results.

This shloka of geeta says:

One should always do his duties, its always better to serve God through our service, and anyway, if we abstain ourselves from doing our duties we will perish.. because it will mean we will stop taking food etc.. they also are duties, done towards ourselves. So doing duty is always better than sitting idle as per geeta.

Performing or doing duty means all the tasks which a person does starting from eating to doing his duties.

We will perish if we stop eating and drinking, and our souls may perish if we stop doing our other duties.

As per geeta it is always better to approach God through our selfless services, than revoking ourselves from performing our duties and thinking this will help us overcome addiction to the results of our works.

Working without addiction is always better than trying to win addiction without working, by withdrawing from work instead of withdrawing from addiction.
