Chapter 2Verse 40
Sankhya Yoga
नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते। स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्॥
nehābhikrama-nāśo 'sti pratyavāyo na vidyate, svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt
Meaning
A reassurance for anyone worried that starting small isn't worth it. Effort here doesn't evaporate if it's incomplete. Even a little of it stays with you and counts for something.
Reflection
No sincere effort is ever wasted. Even a little of it protects you.
