Verse 7.3.7

शुभाशुभात्मकर्म स्वं नाशनीयं विवेकिना ।
तन्नास्तीत्यवबोधेन तत्त्वज्ञानेन सिध्यति ॥ ७ ॥

śubhāśubhātmakarma svaṃ nāśanīyaṃ vivekinā |
tannāstītyavabodhena tattvajñānena sidhyati || 7 ||

Destroy all your acts of merit and demerit, by the force of your discrimination; and your knowledge of the evanescence of your deeds, aided by your knowledge of truth, will cause the consummation of Yoga.
