SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 18 Text 7

niyatasya tu sannyasah
karmano nopapadyate
mohat tasya parityagas
tamasah parikirtitah

niyatasya--prescribed; tu--but; sannyasah--renunciation; karmanah--of activities; na--never; upapadyate--is deserved; mohat--by illusion; tasya--of them; parityagah--renunciation; tamasah--in the mode of ignorance; parikirtitah--is declared.

TRANSLATION

Prescribed duties should never be renounced. If one gives up his prescribed duties because of illusion, such renunciation is said to be in the mode of ignorance.
