Shri Rama Gita

siva.sh/shri-rama-gita/9

अज्ञानमेवास्य हि मूलकारणं तद्धानमेवात्र विधौ विधीयते । विद्यैव तन्नाशविधौ पटीयसी न कर्म तज्जं सविरोधमीरितम् ॥ ९॥

sanskrit

The root cause for this samsara is ignorance; naturally, its destruction here is the sole remedy prescribed by scriptural injunction or teaching. Knowledge alone is efficient in destroying that ignorance, never karma (work); for work is said to be the product of ignorance and hence not opposed to it.

english translation
