In English by Swami Sivananda

Eilibrium is Yoga. The attainment of the knowledge of the Self through purity of heart obtained by doing actions without expectation of fruits is success (Siddhi). Failure is the nonattainment of knowledge by doing actions with expectation of fruit. (Cf.III.9IV.14IV.20).
In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas
2.48।। व्याख्या-- 'सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा'-- किसी भी कर्ममें किसी भी कर्मके फलमें, किसी भी देश, काल, घटना, परिस्थिति, अन्तःकरण, बहिःकरण आदि प्राकृत वस्तुमें तेरी आसक्ति न हो, तभी तू निर्लिप्ततापूर्वक कर्म कर सकता है। अगर तू कर्म, फल आदि किसीमें भी चिपक जायेगा, तो निर्लिप्तता कैसे रहेगी, और निर्लिप्तता रहे बिना वह कर्म मुक्तिदायक कैसे होगा, 'सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा'-- आसक्तिके त्यागका परिणाम क्या होगा, सिद्धि और असिद्धिमें समता हो जायगा।
