Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 7: Knowledge and Realization

Bhagavad Gita 7.28

yeṣāṃ tvantagataṃ pāpaṃ janānāṃ puṇyakarmaṇām | te dvandvamohanirmuktā bhajante māṃ dṛḍhavratāḥ ||

But those whose deeds are good, and whose sin has come to an end, are freed from the delusion of opposites and worship me with firm resolve.

Modern context

The way out of confusion is not sudden. Good actions, repeated over time, wear down the residue of past wrongs. As that happens the swing between like and dislike loses its grip, and a firm, steady devotion becomes possible. The verse links ethics and clarity. Doing right is not only good for others; it clears our own sight. A person whose conduct is clean finds it much easier to see clearly.
