Bhagavad Gītā · 12.12
श्रेयो हि ज्ञानमभ्यासाज्ज्ञानाद्ध्यानं विशिष्यते । ध्यानात्कर्मफलत्यागस्त्यागाच्छान्तिरनन्तरम् ॥
śreyo hi jñānam abhyāsāj jñānād dhyānaṃ viśiṣyate | dhyānāt karmaphalatyāgas tyāgāc chāntir anantaram ||
Better than practice is knowledge; better than knowledge is meditation; and better still is giving up the fruits of action, for that brings peace at once. (Krishna to Arjuna)
