Swami SivanandaEnglish
3.18 For him there is no interest whatever in what is done or what is not done; nor does he depend on any being for any object.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish
A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor has he any need to depend on any other living being.
