Unnatural work produces too much stress.

One's inferior natural work is better than superior unnatural work. One who does the work ordained by one's inherent nature incurs no sin.

One attains the highest perfection by devotion to one's natural work. Listen to Me how one attains perfection while engaged in natural work.

Renunciation of the fruit of work is better than meditation.

Work done with selfish motives is inferior by far to the selfless service or Karma-yoga. Therefore be a Karma-yogi, O Arjuna. Those who seek [to enjoy] the fruits of their work are verily unhappy [because one has no control over the results].

Knowledge is better than mere ritualistic practice, meditation is better than mere knowledge, renunciation of the fruit of work is better than meditation, peace immediately follows the renunciation of (the attachment to) the fruit of work.
