Just as unlearned do things with attachment, the learned should 
also do things but  without attachment, wishing to help the world.

In the above it is clearly implied that the learned should do things 
with as much of care and intensity as the unlearned and aiming at 
success. But he should be unaffected by the outcome.

Hope it helps.

Sarma.

The only thing is that, after we make a sincere attempt, we should give up the ownership of success
 or failure and dedicate it to the lord. I think if we are not aiming for success in our endeavour 
we will be seriously lacking in performing one of the purusharthas.
