व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन । बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम्॥६-२४-४१॥
Here, O joy of the Kurus, the resolute intellect is single-pointed; but the intellects of the irresolute are many-branched and endless.
english translation
यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चितः । वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः॥६-२४-४२॥
O Pārtha, those lacking discernment speak this ornate, flower-like speech—delighting in Vedic formulations—asserting that there is nothing beyond it.
english translation
कामात्मानः स्वर्गपरा जन्मकर्मफलप्रदाम् । क्रियाविशेषबहुलां भोगैश्वर्यगतिं प्रति॥६-२४-४३॥
Driven by desire and oriented toward heaven, they promote doctrines that yield the fruits of birth and action—abounding in specialized rites—aimed at attainments of enjoyment and power.
english translation
भोगैश्वर्यप्रसक्तानां तयापहृतचेतसाम् । व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिः समाधौ न विधीयते॥६-२४-४४॥
For those attached to enjoyment and power, whose minds are carried away by that, resolute understanding is not established in concentration (samādhi).
english translation
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन । निर्द्वंद्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान्॥६-२४-४५॥
The Vedas move within the sphere of the three guṇas. Rise beyond the three guṇas, O Arjuna—free from dualities, established in enduring clarity (sattva), unconcerned with acquisition and preservation, and self-possessed.
