Bhagavad Gita 3.1

Arjuna questioned: My Lord! If wisdom is superior to action, why do you advise me to engage in this terrible fight?

अर्जुन उवाच
ज्यायसी चेत्कर्मणस्ते मता बुद्धिर्जनार्दन।
तत्किं कर्मणि घोरे मां नियोजयसि केशव॥

arjuna uvāca
jyāyasī cetkarmaṇaste matā buddhirjanārdana|
tatkiṃ karmaṇi ghore māṃ niyojayasi keśava||
