3.20 Janaka and others attained perfection verily by action only; even with a view to the protection of the masses thou shouldst perform action.
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish
Kings such as Janaka attained perfection solely by performance of prescribed duties. Therefore, just for the sake of educating the people in general, you should perform your work.
