योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्
yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam
"Excellence in action is yoga"
The stamp is shown here for the philatelic interest. The FDC alone carries the logo which has the above Sanskrit phrase. It forms part of the Bhagavad-gītā, 2.50.
The full text --
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते ।
तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥
buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukrta-duṣkṛte
tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam
*One who is endowed with the samatva-buddhi, sameness of mind, gives up both puṇya and pāpa here, in this world. Therefore commit yourself to karma-yoga. Karma-yoga is discretion in action.
Saṅkara explains that samatva-buddhi that is talked about is with reference to karma-phala, fruits of action.
*Swami Dayananda's Bhagavad-gītā, Home-Study-Course (2001), p.316
