Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 16

Krishna said
किं कर्म किमकर्मेति कवयोऽप्यत्र मोहिताः।तत्ते कर्म प्रवक्ष्यामि यज्ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात् ॥4.16॥

kiṃ karma kimakarmeti kavayo'pyatra mohitāḥtatte karma pravakṣyāmi yajjñātvā mokṣyase'śubhāt

Meaning

Krishna says that even the wise are confused about what action is and what inaction is. He will explain action to Arjuna, and knowing it, Arjuna will be freed from harm.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं कि कर्म क्या है और अकर्म क्या है, इस बारे में बुद्धिमान लोग भी उलझ जाते हैं। मैं तुम्हें कर्म का रहस्य बताऊँगा, जिसे जानकर तुम अशुभ से मुक्त हो जाओगे।
