Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 26
भगवद् गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 26

न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम्।
जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान् युक्तः समाचरन्।।3.26।।



English Translation - Swami Sivananda
3.26 Let no wise man unsettle the mind of ignorant people who are attached to action; he should engage them in all actions, himself fulfilling them with devotion.


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
3.26 Vidvan the enlightened man; na janayet, should not create; buddhi-bhedam, disturbance in the beliefs-disturbance in the firm belief, This has to be done; and the result of this action is to be reaped by me; ajnanam, of the ignorant, of the non-discriminating one; karma-sanginam, who are attached to work. But what should he do? Himself samacaran, working, performing those very activities of the ignorant; yuktah, while remaining diligent; josayet, he should make them do; sarva-karmani, all the duties.
How does an anillumined, ignorant person be come attached to actions? In reply the Lord says:
