बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते ।
तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ।।

buddhiyukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛtaduṣkṛte ।
tasmādyogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam ।।

इह​ - in this karma-anushtana, बुद्धियुक्त: - buddhi-yogins, सुकृतदुष्कृते - punya/papa, उभे - both, जहाती - refrain, तस्मात् - hence, योगाय​ - for buddhi-yoga, युज्यस्व - be fixated on it, योगः - this buddhi-yoga, कर्मसु - in all karma-s, कौशलम् - skilfully receiving

Just like how papa (sins) cause us to be dragged into samsara, so does punya.

A normal being desires of worldly desires & hence by his good deeds he expects to be in svarga after-life. But it's a stumbling block for moksha. One should avoid enjoying punya phala-s too!

Just like how the outcome of papa (naraka etc..) is a rude shock to a person's expectations, so does the outcome of punya (svarga etc..) to a mumukshu (person desiring moksha). He should avoid both with equal fervor

A simple analogy here is, papa is like an iron chain while punya is like gold chain. Even though they differ in outlook, they achieve the same objective. That is, fettering the individual!!

One should be free of both the chains in order to become eligible for moksha

One with samatva-buddhi stays away from punya/papa. Hence Arjuna, you be steadfastedly rooted in yoga. [Yoga here is to wisely perform karma-s]

One with bhagavata-paroksha jnana stays away from punya/papa. Hence Arjuna, you must do the same. The 'bhagavata-paroksha' jnana is to understand that all karma-s are done for bhagavad-preethi with phala-s (outcomes) submitted at His Feet.
