Verse
सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत् ।सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः ॥
sahajaṃ karma kaunteya sadoṣamapi na tyajetsarvārambhā hi doṣeṇa dhūmenāgnirivāvṛtāḥ
The inborn work, O son of Kunti, though defective, ought not to be abandoned. All actions (in the three Gunas) indeed are clouded by defects as fire by smoke.
Gītā 18·48All action in the three gunas is imperfect, all human work is subject to fault, defect or limitation; but that should not make us abandon our own proper work and natural function. Action should be rightly regulated action, niya karma, but intrinsically one’s own, evolved from within, in harmony with the truth of one’s being, regulated by the Swabhava, svabhāva-niyatam karma .
