यथैधांसि समिद्धोग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेर्जुन
ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा
As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjun, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.

ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः
लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा
One who performs their duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme God, is not affected by sinful action, just as the lotus leaf is untouched by water.
Chapter 9 - Text 30
अपि चेत्सुदुराचारो भजते मामनन्यभाक
साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः
Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if they are engaged in devotional service, they are to be considered saintly because they are completely situated.

यो मामजमनादीं च वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम
असम्मूढः स मर्त्येषु सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते
The one who knows Me as the unborn, as the beginningless, as the Supreme Lord of all the worlds – they, undeluded among others, are freed from all sins.

सुखसङ्गेन बध्नाति ज्ञानसङ्गेन चानघ

अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः
