Krishna states that you must sacrifice the outcome of doable Karma. Doable karmaKarma is defined, by Pandya B, as being done for the sake of God or cleansing the mind from lust, anger, attachment, greed, ego and jealousy (2020). The outcome that is left for the welfare of others brings a sense of responsibility and makes one conscious of the Karmas he does, because every KarmasKarma will need to be evaluated by its consequences.

The purpose of this concept is to make one independent from the reliance over the outcome of Karmas and perform actions out of a sense of duty
, rather than the sense of desire which needs to be renounced. Karmas performed purely out of desire can come out to be non-doable/sinful. The result of sin, in Hinduism, is considered hell or dukkha which repels one from God and it becomes difficult for one to progress in the spiritual path. A Hindu must realise that he needs to perform Karmas to attain God. And those Karmas should be free from both the desire for worldly gains and spiritual gains which are rewards of good deeds. These Karmas are described in Vedas and need to be done to the best of the ability, which is only possible if one is independent of the reliance over its outcome. As a result, the mind gets focussed on doable and necessary Karmas and gets detached from otherworldlyother-worldly or spiritual desires, which are ultimately pleasurable only to the sense organs.
