Says Sri Krishna in the 6th Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita —

So that way, you cannot abandon the fruits of your action. Now you will be attached to the action of donating all your money and staying hungry!

But when you work, you must perform it as an offering unto God and leave the results in His hands. You don't think about the results of your actions while you are working, and even after you are done with your work!
