DHARMA

For this undrstanding let’s look at the shloka that is the cornerstone of Nishkam karma again: Karmanyewadhikaraste ma faleshu kadachana (2..47)

You have the right to the karma but not to the result. This shloka does not say that you do not get a result when you do a karma. You do karma and you get result.

That is why this shloka is not only the key to Nishkam karma but also fundamental to the Sakam karma.

There is an unknown factor between the karma and the result. The same karma does not produce the same result a second time even for the same person.

For a different person the result of the same karma can be totally different. If you change the time and space for the same karma results can be dramatically different.

This means that the results of any karma is unpredictable and there is no reproducibility.
