Translation

He who is devoted to the path of action, whose mind is pure, who has conquered the self, who has subdued his senses, and who realizes his Self as the Self in all beings, though acting, is not tainted.

Hindi translation

जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ अपने वशमें हैं, जिसका अन्तःकरण निर्मल है, जिसका शरीर अपने वशमें है और सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंकी आत्मा ही जिसकी आत्मा है, ऐसा कर्मयोगी कर्म करते हुए भी लिप्त नहीं होता।

Meaning

He who is harmonised by Yoga, i.e., he who has purified his mind by devotion to the performance of action, who has conered the body and who has subjugated the senses, whose Self is the Self of all beings, he will not be bound by actions although he performs actions for the wellbeing or protection of the masses in orer to set an example to them. (Cf.XVIII.17)
