Bhagavad Gita 4.37

As the kindled fire consumes the fuel, so, O Arjuna, the embers of action are burnt to ashes in the flame of wisdom.

यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन।
ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा॥

yathaidhāṃsi samiddho'gnirbhasmasātkurute'rjuna|
jñānāgniḥ sarvakarmāṇi bhasmasātkurute tathā||
