Bhagavad Gita 2.49 — Take refuge in wisdom

दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय। बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः ॥

dūreṇa hyavaraṃ karma buddhiyogāddhanañjaya | buddhau śaraṇamanviccha kṛpaṇāḥ phalahetavaḥ ||

Meaning

Action done for its fruit is far lower than action guided by this wisdom of equanimity. Take refuge in that wisdom; those who work only for results are to be pitied.
