Verse 2·49

Action motivated by profit is far inferior

Verse

दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनंजय ।बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः ॥

dūreṇa hyavaraṃ karma buddhiyogāddhanaṃjayabuddhau śaraṇamanviccha kṛpaṇāḥ phalahetavaḥ

Works are far inferior to Yoga of the intelligence, O Dhananjaya; desire rather refuge in the intelligence; poor and wretched souls are they who make the fruit of their works the object of their thoughts and activities.
