In English
My actions do not bind Me, nor do I desire anything that they can bring. He who thus realizes Me is not enslaved by action.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
Actions do not taint Me, nor do I have a desire for the fruit of actions. He who knows Me thus is not bound by actions.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
