Bhagavad Gita 4.17

It is necessary to consider what is right action, what is wrong action, and what is inaction, for the law of action is mysterious.

कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः।
अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः॥

karmaṇo hyapi boddhavyaṃ boddhavyaṃ ca vikarmaṇaḥ|
akarmaṇaśca boddhavyaṃ gahanā karmaṇo gatiḥ||
