Verse 2.6.39

सकलकारणकार्यविवर्जितं निजविकल्पबलादुपकल्पितम् ।
तदनपेक्ष्य हि दैवमसन्मयं श्रय शुभाशय पौरुषमात्मनः ॥ ३९ ॥

sakalakāraṇakāryavivarjitaṃ nijavikalpabalādupakalpitam |
tadanapekṣya hi daivamasanmayaṃ śraya śubhāśaya pauruṣamātmanaḥ || 39 ||

It is the ignorant only that depart from the beaten path, and fall into the error of fatalism. Therefore give up that false faith in an unreal fate, which is a mere creation of the imagination and devoid of any cause or effect; and apply to your manly exertions.
