Bhagavad Geeta 18.22

Sanskrit

यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम्।अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्।।18.22।।

yat tu kṛitsna-vad ekasmin kārye saktam ahaitukam atattvārtha-vad alpaṁ cha tat tāmasam udāhṛitam

Meaning

Avoid tunnel vision in decision-making. Knowledge confined to one perspective, ignoring broader truth and substance, leads to poor leadership outcomes.

Translation

But that (knowledge) is said to be born of tamas which is confined to one form as if it were all, which is irrational, unconcerned with truth, and trivial.
