Chapter 5: Karm Sanyās Yog
śhrī bhagavān uvācha
sannyāsaḥ karma-yogaśh cha niḥśhreyasa-karāvubhau
tayos tu karma-sannyāsāt karma-yogo viśhiṣhyate||2||

Meaning : Lord Krishna said:
Giving up actions (sannyasa) and performing actions without selfish desires (karma yoga) are both good paths that can lead a person to spiritual freedom and inner peace. Both can help a person reach the highest goal of life—liberation. However, between the two, selfless action is better than completely renouncing all action. Because when you act with the right attitude—without attachment or selfishness—
you grow spiritually while still living in the world and doing your responsibilities.
