Why: the disciplined person, abandoning attachment to the fruit of action, attains steady peace, while the undisciplined person, bound by desire for fruit, becomes entangled, contrasting the two outcomes directly.
In life: two people can do the exact same job, one anxious and gripping, one settled and releasing, and end up in very different internal states despite similar external results.
Teaching: notice which category you're closer to in your current main responsibility, and consciously work toward the released version rather than assuming your anxiety is simply required by the role.
