Simple

yathaidhāṁsi samiddho ’gnir
bhasma-sāt kurute ’rjuna
jñānāgniḥ sarva-karmāṇi
bhasma-sāt kurute tathā

‘Like the kindled fire, Arjuna!, consuming a heap of sticks, the fire of wisdom reduces all action to ashes.’

In the manner that fire, well-kindled, burns up a faggot of sticks, the fire of wisdom relating to true ātma-nature reduces all the long accumulated mass of sin, attaching itself to jivātma, into ashes.

>> Chapter 4 verse 38
