Sūtra translation
(The Akamya work of the wise is capable of yielding permanent fruits, i.e., is to be of use in the Moksha) ; for (it is said in the text " Whatever he does) with knowledge, etc."
Even a small act of righteousness performed by him who has seen Brahman becomes great and everlasting, for the Sruti says; “ Whatever he does with knowledge and faith leading to the (perception of the) true (subject) of scripture, (the Supreme Being), becomes more effica- cious (Ch. I. 1.10). Another text says, “ Indeed his work does not decay ” (Bri. III. 4.15). This is also said in the Bharata: “ Even a small act of righteousness performed by the wise becomes great (is productive of great merit and results), whereas even a great act of righteousness performed by the ignorant is productive of no good.”
