To offer sacrifices in good faith, to serve others for God's glory, and to meditate on God's presence, is Sat. To dedicate every action to God is Sat. But to engage in any sacrifice, to undertake any work, or to attempt meditation, without faith in God, is Asat.

17.23–28

True renunciation

If you renounce every kind of selfish act, then you start on the path of renunciation. If you renounce any prospect of reward for your actions, then you continue on the path of renunciation.

Some sages teach that you should renounce action altogether, since action disturbs meditation. But others say that offering sacrifices and serving others should not be renounced. I affirm the second view, that you should continue to offer sacrifices and serve others, because these actions purify the mind. Yet these actions should always be performed without any thought of reward; that is vital.
