BHAGAVAD GITA · CHAPTER 18, VERSE 48

Bhagavad Gita 18.48

सहजं कर्म कौन्तेय सदोषमपि न त्यजेत्। सर्वारम्भा हि दोषेण धुमेनाग्निरिवावृताः॥

One should not abandon work suited to one's nature, O son of Kunti, even if it has defects; for all endeavors are enveloped by defects, as fire is covered by smoke.
