Problem with if-then model

A very good talk about an ancient and powerful idea:

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मणि

Translation from The Holy Geetha, Commentary by Swami Chinmayananda:

"Thy right is to work only, but never to its fruits; let not the fruit-of-action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction."
