Verse 4·14

I am the object of all worship and devotion

Verse

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

na māṃ karmāṇi limpanti na me karmaphale spṛhāiti māṃ yo’bhijānāti karmabhirna sa badhyate

Works fix not themselves on Me, nor have I desire for the fruits of action; he who thus knoweth Me is not bound by works.

Gītā 4·14

…God is the impersonal beyond this egoistic personality and this strife of the modes of Nature, and as the Purushottama also, the impersonal Personality, he possesses this supreme freedom even in works. Therefore the doer of divine works even while following the fourfold law has to know and live in that which is beyond, in the impersonal Self and so in the supreme Godhead.
