Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yajña, and Avatāra Instruction
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते । तस्माद् योगाय युज्यस्व योग: कर्मसु कौशलम्
buddhiyukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛtaduṣkṛte | tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam ||
Disse Sañjaya: Aquele que é disciplinado por um entendimento firme abandona, ainda aqui nesta vida, tanto o mérito quanto o demérito, libertando-se de seus frutos que prendem. Portanto, dedica-te ao yoga como equanimidade; pois yoga é perícia na ação, a arte de agir sem servidão.

Educational Q&A
Cultivate yoga as even-mindedness and disciplined understanding so that action is performed skillfully—without attachment to results—thereby becoming free from the binding consequences associated with both merit and demerit.
Sañjaya is reporting Kṛṣṇa’s instruction to Arjuna on the battlefield: Arjuna should adopt yoga (equanimity and inner discipline) so that his duty-bound action does not entangle him in karmic bondage.
