Performance of Duty & Destruction of Karma

For those who are already into spirituality or are in the search for enlightenment, a general doubt may arise in mind " Will getting into spirituality involve giving up ones duties and responsibilities in life and taking to meditation in solitude ?

Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 50 and 51 advices Arjuna; how performance of ones duties with buddhi ( intelligence ) ( termed as Buddhi Yogam ); leads to Moksha( liberation ) by destruction of ones papa and punya ( Sins and Piety ).
"
buddhi-yukto jahatiha
ubhe sukrta-duskrte
tasmad yogaya yujyasva
yogah karmasu kausalam "


" One who practises Buddhi Yoga gives up both papa and punya. Therefore try to perform Buddhi Yoga. Such performance of yoga requires skill."


karma-jam buddhi-yukta hi
phalam tyaktva manisinah
janma-bandha-vinirmuktah
padam gacchanty anamayam


" People attached to buddhi Yoga; who gives up the fruits of their actions, is released from the bondage of birth and death and go to the place where there is no suffering"

Such a person performs works as prescribed for him in the Vedas with a detached mind and not desiring insignificant fruits. He also does not consider himself as the doer of the action and performs all works for the pleasure of the Supreme Lord.
