Because we all have to act in this world, the real task becomes learning how to distinguish between right actions, wrong actions and when inaction is the right thing to do.  All the results of our actions are nearly impossible to predict.  Therefore, the only way to avoid any negative consequences of your action is to avoid letting yourself become attached to the fruits of that action.  The way to do that is to be constantly identified with your inner soul-self that has the same attributes that God has.  The sages of ancient times realized that this was the way to perform all your actions in this world because it frees you from the pain and suffering that accompanies them.  Like those sages, you should act that way, too.
