You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. There are three considerations here: prescribed duties, capricious work, and inaction. As far as prescribed duties are concerned, they can be fitted into three subdivisions, namely routine work, emergency work and desired activities. Arjuna was therefore advised by the Lord to fight as a matter of duty without attachment to the result. Bhagavad-gita As It Is Chapter 2 Verse 47. Bhagavad-gita As It Is Chapter 2 Verse 59.

After all, bhakti is the fruit of all endeavor. Bhakti is more than a process leading to a result: it is the constitutional nature of the living being. As Lord Caitanya states in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 20.108), jīvera 'svarūpa' haya — kṛṣṇera 'nitya-dāsa': "It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa. " When one begins devotional service, the emphasis is on performing obligatory practices ordered by the spiritual master. [The practice of devotional service] is not for developing something artificial. Nārada has defined bhakti as superior to other processes because it is both the means and the end, whereas other processes must ultimately lead to bhakti to have any value.
