In relation to action other than what is intended for yajna, this world is bound by karma; (Any act performed except for the worship of Lord leads to bondage); therefore O son of Kunti, you should perform your duties for that purpose (worship of Lord) without wishing for a reward and with perfect devotion to the Lord.
