śhrī bhagavān uvācha
anāśhritaḥ karma-phalaṁ kāryaṁ karma karoti yaḥ
sa sannyāsī cha yogī cha na niragnir na chākriyaḥ||1||
Meaning : He who performs his obligatory duty without attachment to the fruits of action is a true renunciant (sannyāsī) and a yogi — not one who merely gives up rituals or refrains from activity. A person does not become truly spiritual by abandoning responsibilities or outer practices. Real renunciation and yoga happen within, when one lets go of desires and expectations, yet continues to act with sincerity. It is not about escaping life, but about living fully — without being bound by what comes or goes.
