न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् । जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन् ॥
na buddhibhedaṃ janayedajñānāṃ karmasaṅginām | joṣayetsarvakarmāṇi vidvānyuktaḥ samācaran ||
The wise should not unsettle the understanding of the ignorant who are attached to action. Acting with discipline themselves, they should encourage others in all actions.
ज्ञानी पुरुष कर्म में आसक्त अज्ञानियों की बुद्धि में भ्रम उत्पन्न न करे। स्वयं योगयुक्त होकर भली-भाँति कर्म करता हुआ उनसे भी सब कर्म करवाए।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
Don't knock away someone's motivation by lecturing them on higher truths they aren't ready for. Show the way by your own example and meet people where they are.
किसी को ऊँचे सिद्धांत सुनाकर, जिनके लिए वह अभी तैयार नहीं, उसकी प्रेरणा मत छीनिए। अपने उदाहरण से राह दिखाइए और लोगों से वहीं मिलिए जहाँ वे हैं।
Krishna advises the wise not to unsettle the minds of those attached to action, but to engage them in action by acting well themselves.
