कर्मजम् बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलम् त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः ।
जन्म बन्ध विनिर्मुक्ताः पदम् गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ॥ ५१ ॥

मनीषिणः बुद्धियुक्ता हि [manISiNaH buddhiyuktA hi] Only people who work with the awareness of the Self कर्मजम् फलम् त्यक्त्वा [karmajam phalam tyaktvA] aren’t limited by the outcome of their actions. जन्म बन्ध विनिर्मुक्ताः [janma bandha vinirmuktAH] They are freed from the bonds of this birth गच्छन्ति [gacchanti] and reach अनामयम् पदम् [anAmayam padam] a state that is free of flaws.

People who work with the awareness of the Self involve in activity, while letting their outcomes go. By working that way, they reach a state that is free of fault. They get freedom from all limitations imposed by birth. This is the predominant message in all the Upanishads.
