Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 3: The Path of Action
Bhagavad Gita 3.29
प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु ।
तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत् ॥
prakṛterguṇasammūḍhāḥ sajjante guṇakarmasu | tānakṛtsnavido mandānkṛtsnavinna vicālayet ||
Those deluded by the qualities of nature become attached to the actions of those qualities. One who knows the whole should not unsettle the dull, who know only a part.
Modern context
Krishna repeats the caution of verse 26: one who sees the whole picture should not shake those who see part of it. Knowledge brings a duty of gentleness. It is easy to use insight to make others feel foolish; it takes maturity to hold it quietly and help people from where they are.
