Bhagavad Geeta 2.50

Sanskrit

बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते। तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्।।2.50।।

buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛita-duṣhkṛite tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśhalam

Meaning

Translation

Possessed of wisdom, one rejects here both virtue and vice. Therefore, devote yourself to (Karma-) yoga; for yoga is skilfulness in action.
