बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते ।
तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥२- ५०॥
buddhiyukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛtaduṣkṛte ।
tasmādyogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam ॥2- 50॥

Commentary
This verse is a nice play on the verb "yuj" and the noun "yoga", which is derived from the verb "yuj". The words "yoke" and "yoga" are not used literally here, but are transcendental practices to bring equilibrium to one's state of being.
