Bhagavad Gita 2.49

Sankhya Yoga

दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय | बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः ||

dūreṇa hy avaraṁ karma buddhi-yogād dhanañjaya buddhau śaraṇam anviccha kṛpaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ

English

O Dhananjaya, keep all abominable activities far distant by devotional service, and in that consciousness surrender unto the Lord. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers.

हिन्दी

हे धनञ्जय! बुद्धियोग से कर्म बहुत निकृष्ट है; तू बुद्धिरूपी शरण का अभिलाषी हो; फल के इच्छुक तो कृपण (तुच्छ) हैं।
