Perform action, but do not hanker after the fruit. Do not complain that you did not get public recognition for the good you did. Fruits, whether good or bad, you yourself have to consume.  If you crave for the profit, you will have to be prepared to accept the loss also. The best means of liberating yourself from the consequences is to ignore the fruit and perform action, for the sake of action only.  Then, you will not be burdened with either the merit of action or the sin from it.
