Karma has two meanings. One is 'action' and the other is the 'result of such action'. When we do a work, besides physical result, the sins and virtues associated with it shall be ours. It does happen because we are attached to the sense of duty and the feeling that 'I am doing it'. God promises 'I shall shoulder your responsibility when you give up karma'. Giving up 'karma', does not mean sitting idle or without doing any work. Even if the hands and limbs do not work, something has to be fed into the mouth. So whatever work we do, we should think 'God is making me do it. I am not the one doing it, but only a tool of God to accomplish His purpose'. Baba explained the teachings of Lord Krishna to Arjuna in a lucid manner to Mhalsapathy. Thus, giving up of 'feeling of doing' is the sacrifice of the fruit of effort or actions. The moment we think in such a manner, the result of action will be Baba's only, and not ours.
We should cultivate the habit of remembering His name, meditating on Him and performing duties according to His Will. We can cultivate the spirit of disinterested action (not interested in the fruits of one's efforts) by regular practice. It is Baba who commands, activates and makes us do a work and rewards us. Such a state of mind must be cultivated. Then, like Prahlada, we too could feel God's presence in every atom of the Universe.
