Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, Verse 26

न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम् | जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन् ||

na buddhi-bhedaṁ janayed ajñānāṁ karma-saṅginām joṣayet sarva-karmāṇi vidvān yuktaḥ samācaran

Let no wise person create disturbance in the understanding of ignorant people attached to action; rather, let them engage in all actions while performing them skillfully.

Krishna teaches skillful guidance: 'Na buddhi-bhedaṁ janayed ajñānāṁ karma-saṅginām'—don't disturb the understanding of those attached to action. Telling someone 'your way is wrong' creates resistance, not transformation. Instead, 'joṣayet sarva-karmāṇi vidvān yuktaḥ samācaran'—the wise (vidvān) inspire through their own skillful action (samācaran). Meet people where they are. Don't lecture about better ways—live them so compellingly that others ask to learn. The wise don't force understanding; they create conditions for it to emerge.
