Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 9

This world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of Yajna; therefore, O son of Kunti, perform action for Yajna alone, free from attachment.

The same task can either trap you or free you. What changes is who it's actually for.

Work itself isn't the problem, the ownership behind it is. Done purely for yourself, it binds. Offered as something bigger than personal gain, that exact same effort stops weighing anything down.
