Bhagavata Purana 4.4.20
Srimad Bhagavatam · 4 · Verse 20
Sanskrit Original
कर्म प्रवृत्तं च निवृत्तमप्यृतं वेदे विविच्योभयलिङ्गमाश्रितम् । विरोधि तद्यौगपदैककर्तरि द्वयं तथा ब्रह्मणि कर्म नर्च्छति ॥ २० ॥
karma pravṛttaṁ ca nivṛttam apy ṛtaṁ vede vivicyobhaya-liṅgam āśritam virodhi tad yaugapadaika-kartari dvayaṁ tathā brahmaṇi karma narcchati
In the Vedas there are directions for two kinds of activities — activities for those who are attached to material enjoyment and activities for those who are materially detached. In consideration of these two kinds of activities, there are two kinds of people, who have different symptoms. If one wants to see two kinds of activities in one person, that is contradictory. But both kinds of activities may be neglected by a person who is transcendentally situated.
