नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते | स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्

在此,努力不会白费,也没有任何损害。即使是这种“法”(dharma)的微小部分,也能将人从巨大的恐惧中拯救出来。
Here there is no waste of an attempt; nor is there (any) harm. Even a little of this righteousness saves (one) from great fear.
如果一项宗教仪式未能完成,那便是浪费,因为执行者无法实现其果报。但在“业瑜伽”(Karma Yoga)中并非如此,因为每一个行动都会立即净化心灵。农业存在不确定性,农民可能耕地、播种,但如果没有雨水,可能就无法获得收成。但在“业瑜伽”中并非如此,完全没有不确定性。此外,它也不会带来任何损害。在医疗方面,如果医生用药不当,可能会造成巨大伤害。但在“业瑜伽”中并非如此。在这条“瑜伽”(Yoga)之道,即行动的“瑜伽”之道上,无论做多少,即使是微不足道的事情,也能将人从被困于生死轮回的巨大恐惧中拯救出来。奎师那(Krishna)主在此赞扬“业瑜伽”,旨在激发阿周那(Arjuna)对这种“瑜伽”的兴趣。
If a religious ceremony is left uncompleted? it is a wastage as the performer cannot realise the fruits. But it is not so in the case of Karma Yoga because every action causes immediate purification of the heart.In agriculture there is uncertainty. The farmer may till the land? plough and sow the seed but he may not get a crop if there is no rain. This is not so in Karma Yoga. There is no uncertainty at all. Further? there is no chance of any harm coming out of it. In the case of medical treatment great harm will result from the doctors injudicious treatment if he uses a wrong medicine. But it is not so in the case of Karma Yoga. Anything done? however little it may be? in this path of Yoga? the Yoga of action? saves one from great fear of being caught in the wheel of birth and death. Lord Krishna here extols Karma Yoga in order to create interest in Arjuna in this Yoga.
