Krishna said
एवं ज्ञात्वा कृतं कर्म पूर्वैरपि मुमुक्षुभिः।कुरु कर्मैव तस्मात्त्वं पूर्वैः पूर्वतरं कृतम् ॥4.15॥

evaṃ jñātvā kṛtaṃ karma pūrvairapi mumukṣubhiḥkuru karmaiva tasmāttvaṃ pūrvaiḥ pūrvataraṃ kṛtam

Meaning

Knowing this, seekers of freedom in earlier times also performed action. So you too should simply act, as the ancients did long before.
