Chapter 3: Karm Yog
śhreyān swa-dharmo viguṇaḥ para-dharmāt sv-anuṣhṭhitāt
swa-dharme nidhanaṁ śhreyaḥ para-dharmo bhayāvahaḥ || 35||

My Understanding : Swadharma – One should follow their heart and act in alignment with both their heart and Krishna’s path. Even if there are flaws in the process, we should perform our duties wholeheartedly. It is important to follow dharma. When you follow Krishna’s path and surrender to Him, you will be free from feelings of good or bad, happiness or sadness, because you are acting in accordance with dharma. If you chase after the results of others’ actions, you will face challenges, but not the true fruits of your labor. It is always better to follow your own dharma (swadharma) than to follow the dharma of others (paradharma).
