Sanskrit Original
।।4.33।।उभयाकारे कर्मणि द्रव्यमयाद् अंशाद् ज्ञानमयः अंशः श्रेयान्। सर्वस्य कर्मणः तदितरस्य च अखिलस्य उपादेयस्य ज्ञाने परिसमाप्तेः।तद् एवं सर्वैः साधनैः प्राप्यभूतं ज्ञानं कर्मान्तर्गतत्वेन अभ्यस्यते। तद् एव हि अभ्यस्यमानं क्रमेण प्राप्यदशां प्रतिपद्यते।
4.33 Karma Yoga has two aspects - knowledge and material ingredients. Of these two, the component of knowledge is superior to the component of material ingredients. Knowledge is the culmination of all actions and of everything else, accessories and other things helpful. This knowledge alone, which is to be obtained by all means, is practised as comprehended in Karma Yoga. And this knowledge being regularly practised, reaches gradually what is ultimately attainable i.e., the vision of the self.
