Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3.20

karmaṇaiva hi saḿsiddhim
āsthitā janakādayaḥ
loka-sańgraham evāpi
sampaśyan kartum arhasi


Translation 

Kings such as Janaka attained perfection solely by performance of prescribed duties. Therefore, just for the sake of educating the people in general, you should perform your work.
