Chapter 4Verse 42
Jnana Karma Sanyasa Yoga
तस्मादज्ञानसम्भूतं हृत्स्थं ज्ञानासिनात्मनः। छित्त्वैनं संशयं योगमातिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ भारत॥
tasmād ajñāna-sambhūtaṁ hṛt-sthaṁ jñānāsinātmanaḥ, chittvainaṁ saṁśayaṁ yogam ātiṣṭhottiṣṭha bhārata
Meaning
Doubt that sits in you unaddressed will keep you stuck longer than any outside obstacle. Krishna's instruction is direct: cut through it with what you actually know to be true, and then get up. Endless deliberation isn't the same as being careful. At some point you have to stand and move.
Cut through the doubt with what you know is true. Then get up.
