बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते । तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥ ५० ॥
buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛita-duṣhkṛite tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśhalam
Translation
One endowed with this understanding casts off both good and evil deeds here in this life. Therefore devote yourself to yoga; yoga is skill in action.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
बुद्धियुक्त पुरुष इसी जीवन में पुण्य और पाप दोनों को त्याग देता है। इसलिए योग में लग जाओ; कर्मों में कुशलता ही योग है।
Commentary
Yogaḥ karmasu kauśhalam — "yoga is skill in action" — is the Gita's second famous definition of yoga. The "skill" is the art of acting without being bound: doing good work without the ego that craves reward, so that even good deeds do not create new chains.
