Bhagavad Geeta 18.31

Sanskrit

यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च।अयथावत्प्रजानाति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ राजसी।।18.31।।

yayā dharmam adharmaṁ cha kāryaṁ chākāryam eva cha ayathāvat prajānāti buddhiḥ sā pārtha rājasī

Meaning

Passion-driven judgment clouds your moral compass. Seek clarity beyond impulse to distinguish right action from wrong before deciding.

Translation

O Partha, that intellect is born of rajas with which one wrongly understands virtue and vice, as well as what ought to be done and ought not to be done.
