यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके । तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः॥६-२४-४६॥
As little use as a well has when water is available everywhere, so limited is the use of all the Vedas for the discerning brāhmaṇa who truly knows.
english translation
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥६-२४-४७॥
Your entitlement is to action alone, never at any time to its results. Do not let the fruits of action be your motive, and do not cling to non-action.
english translation
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनंजय । सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते॥६-२४-४८॥
Established in yoga, perform your actions, O Dhanaṃjaya, having abandoned attachment; equal in success and non-success—this equanimity is called yoga.
english translation
दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनंजय । बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः॥६-२४-४९॥
Action performed with attachment is far inferior to the yoga of understanding, O Dhanaṃjaya. Seek refuge in buddhi (discernment); those who act for the sake of results are impoverished in wisdom.
english translation
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते । तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्॥६-२४-५०॥
One endowed with disciplined discernment relinquishes here both merit and demerit. Therefore, commit yourself to yoga; yoga is skillfulness in action.
