TEXT 50
- बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते ।
- तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥५०॥
- buddhi-yukto jahātīha
- ubhe sukṛta-duṣkṛte
- tasmād yogāya yujyasva
- yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam
buddhi-yuktaḥone who is engaged in devotional service—one who is engaged in devotional service; jahātican get rid of—can get rid of; ihain this life—in this life; ubhein both—in both; sukṛta-duṣkṛtein good and bad results—in good and bad results; tasmāttherefore—therefore; yogāyafor the sake of devotional service—for the sake of devotional service; yujyasvabe so engaged—be so engaged; yogaḥKṛṣṇa consciousness—Kṛṣṇa consciousness; karmasuin all activities—in all activities; kauśalamart—art.
A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad actions even in this life. Therefore strive for yoga, O Arjuna, which is the art of all work.
Since time immemorial each living entity has accumulated the various reactions of his good and bad work, As such, he is continuously ignorant of his real constitutional position. One's ignorance can be removed by the instruction of the Bhagavad-gītā which teaches one to surrender unto Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa in all respects and become liberated from the chained victimization of action and reaction, birth after birth. Arjuna is therefore advised to act in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the purifying process of resultant action.
