Sanskrit
यतः प्रवृत्तिर्भूतानां येन सर्वमिदं ततम् । स्वकर्मणा तमभ्यर्च्य सिद्धिं विन्दति मानवः ॥ ४६ ॥
yataḥ pravṛttir bhūtānāṃ yena sarvam idaṃ tatam svakarmaṇā tam abhyarcya siddhiṃ vindati mānavaḥ
Translation
He from whom is the emanation of beings, by Whom all This is pervaded, by worshipping Him in his own duty a man winneth perfection.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
The previous verse’s claim is pushed further here: worshipping the source “from whom is the emanation of all beings” is accomplished through one’s own ordinary work, not despite it. It’s the same move chapter 3 makes when it reframes competent action as yajna, sacrifice (3.9-3.16) — dedicated work toward Krishna as the origin-point of all beings collapses any distinction between “sacred” and “secular” activity that the varna scheme laid out just above might otherwise seem to invite.
