Bhagavad Gita 2.5

Sankhya Yoga

गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके | हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ||

gurūn ahatvā hi mahānubhāvān śreyo bhoktuṁ bhaikṣyam apīha loke hatvārtha-kāmāṁs tu gurūn ihaiva bhuñjīya bhogān rudhira-pradigdhān

English

It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though they are avaricious, they are still superiors. If they are killed, our spoils will be tainted with blood.

हिन्दी

बड़े-बड़े उदारचेता गुरujनों को न मारकर इहलोक में भिक्षा खाना भी उत्तम है; क्योंकि गुरujनों को मारकर तो इस लोक में ही रक्त से सने हुए भोगों को भोगूँगा।
