Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 2
संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ।तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते ॥5.2॥saṃnyāsaḥ karmayogaśca niḥśreyasakarāvubhautayostu karmasaṃnyāsātkarmayogo viśiṣyate
Meaning
Krishna answers: both renouncing action and karma yoga (selfless action) lead to the highest good. But of the two, karma yoga is better than giving up action.
हिंदी में अर्थ
श्रीकृष्ण उत्तर देते हैं: कर्मों का त्याग और कर्मयोग, दोनों ही परम कल्याण की ओर ले जाते हैं। पर इन दोनों में कर्म छोड़ने से कर्मयोग, यानी निःस्वार्थ भाव से काम करना, श्रेष्ठ है।
