"कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥"
This
particular shlok from Bhagdwad Geeta preaches to perform your duties without thinking of the result.
One meaning can also be derived from this shlok that do your work without any
Swarth and for Aarth (good of others).
It is very
necessary to know the purpose of our life, but more important is to know
purpose of the art we are mastering. Art can be anything, even how to live.
