Bhagavad Gita 3.29

3.29 Krishna to Arjuna

प्रकृतेर्गुणसंमूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु । तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत् ॥

prakṛterguṇasaṃmūḍhāḥ sajjante guṇakarmasu | tānakṛtsnavido mandānkṛtsnavinna vicālayet ||

Those deluded by the qualities of nature become attached to the actions of the qualities. The one who knows the whole should not unsettle these dull people of partial knowledge.

प्रकृति के गुणों से अत्यंत मोहित लोग गुणों और कर्मों में आसक्त रहते हैं। पूर्ण ज्ञान वाला उन अधूरे ज्ञान वाले मंद बुद्धि लोगों को विचलित न करे।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Knowing more doesn't give us the right to shake other people's footing. Patience with those who see only part of the picture is itself wisdom.

अधिक जानना हमें दूसरों की ज़मीन हिलाने का अधिकार नहीं देता। जो अभी आधी तस्वीर ही देखते हैं, उनके प्रति धैर्य रखना ही समझदारी है।

Krishna says those deluded by nature's qualities are attached to their workings; the one who knows the whole should not unsettle those who know only in part.
