Verse 18.48

सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत्।सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धूमेनाग्निरिवावृताः।।18.48।।

saha-jaṁ karma kaunteya sa-doṣham api na tyajet sarvārambhā hi doṣheṇa dhūmenāgnir ivāvṛitāḥ

Meaning

Arjuna, don't ghost your assigned role, even if it's kinda sus. Everything's got some messed up parts, like fire and smoke, they're a package deal.

Commentary

Yo, Kaunteya, even if your assigned task is kinda sus, don't ditch it. It's like, everything we do has some shady stuff mixed in, you know? It's like fire and smoke—always together. Doing someone else's job is a total vibe kill, and if you're not a brahmin, trying to act like one won't get you anywhere. It's all about knowing yourself and doing your own thing. Even if it's not perfect, it's better than doing something that's not even yours.
