"Naaham karmaphalaanveshi rajputri chaarmyuta I
dadaami deyamityeva yaje yashtavyamityuta II
dharma eva manah krishne swabhaavaachchaiva me dhritam I
dharmavaanijyako heeno jaghanyo dharmavaadinaam II "
This verse was uttered by Yudhistira. When Pandavs were exiled they spent some time in Himalayas. There once Yudihistir n Draupadi were having as chat abt Karma n Dharma etc
Draupadi asked, " ..........................Beholding superior and well-behaved and modest persons persecuted(here she meant pandavs), while the sinful are happy, I am sorely troubled. Beholding this your distress and the prosperity of Suyodhana, I do not speak highly of the Great Ordainer who suffereth such inequality! O sir, what fruits does the Great Ordainer reap by granting prosperity to Dhritarashtra's son who transgresses the ordinances, who is crooked and covetous, and who injures virtue and religion!..................................................."
He replied " Your speech, O Yajnaseni (draupadi), is delightful, smooth and full of excellent phrases. We have listened to it (carefully). You are speaking, however, the language of atheism. O princess, I never act, solicitous of the fruits of my actions. I give away, because it is my duty to give; I sacrifice because it is my duty to sacrifice! O Krishna ( draupadi), I accomplish to the best of my power whatever a person living in domesticity should do, regardless of the fact whether those acts have fruits or not. O you of fair hips, I act virtuously, not from the desire of reaping the fruits of virtue, but of not transgressing the ordinances of the Veda, and beholding also the conduct of the good and wise! My heart, O Krishna, is naturally attracted towards virtue. The man who wishes to reap the fruits of virtue is a trader in virtue. His nature is mean and he should never be counted amongst the virtuous. Nor does he ever obtain the fruits of his virtues! Nor does he of sinful heart, who having accomplished a virtuous act doubts in his mind, obtain the fruits of his act, in consequence of that scepticism of his!"
He says that one shud not do trade in love, devotion n obsevance of Dhrama. One shud do it without desireing anything in return. Geeta also says desireless devotion n observance of dharma (duty n righteousness) is best.
