Bhagavad Geeta 3.24

Sanskrit

उत्सीदेयुरिमे लोका न कुर्यां कर्म चेदहम्। सङ्करस्य च कर्ता स्यामुपहन्यामिमाः प्रजाः।।3.24।।

utsīdeyur ime lokā na kuryāṁ karma ched aham sankarasya cha kartā syām upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ

Meaning

Leaders must act decisively despite personal doubts. Inaction creates chaos; your responsibility is to engage fully, not withdraw from difficult decisions.

Translation

These worlds would be ruined if I did not perform action. And I shall become the agent of intermingling (of castes), and shall be destroying these beings.
