कर्मयोग–ज्ञानयज्ञ–अवतारोपदेश
Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yajña, and Avatāra Instruction
योगस्थ: कुरु कर्माणि सज्ुूं त्यक्त्वा धनंजय । सिद्धयसिद्धयो: समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते,हे धनंजय! तू आसक्तिको त्यागकर तथा सिद्धि और असिद्धिमें समान बुद्धिवाला होकर योगमें स्थित हुआ कर्तव्यकर्मोंकी कर,“ समत्व ही योग कहलाता है
yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā dhanañjaya | siddhyasiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṃ yoga ucyate ||
Dijo Sañjaya: Establecido en el yoga, cumple tus deberes, oh Dhanañjaya, abandonando el apego. Manteniéndote ecuánime en el éxito y el fracaso, actúa: pues esa firme igualdad de ánimo es llamada yoga.
