Bhagavad Gita 2.33 meaning

atha chet tvam imam dharmyam sangramam na karishyasi tatah svadharmam keertim cha hitva papam avapsyasi
अथ चेत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि। ततः स्वधर्मं कीर्तिं च हित्वा पापमवाप्स्यसि॥

But if you refuse to fight this righteous war, you will abandon your duty and your honour, and you will incur wrong.

What it means
Avoiding a responsibility is also a choice, with its own consequences. Sometimes doing nothing is the real failure. Not acting when it is right to act carries a cost too.

हिंदी में अर्थ

परंतु यदि तुम यह धर्मयुक्त संग्राम नहीं करोगे, तो अपना धर्म और कीर्ति खोकर पाप के भागी बनोगे।

किसी ज़िम्मेदारी से बचना भी एक चुनाव है, जिसके अपने परिणाम होते हैं। कभी-कभी कुछ न करना ही असली चूक होती है, जब कर्म करना सही हो।

Spoken by Krishna.
