B.G 18.02
श्रीभगवानुवाच
The auspicious Lord spoke:
काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं सन्यासं कवयो विदुः। सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः ॥२॥
Sages understand the renuncement of actions arising from desire as true renunciation (saṃnyāsa), while the wise declare that giving up the fruits of all actions is relinquishment (tyāga).
Gīta Bhāshya 18.02
Renunciation (saṃnyāsa) involves giving up actions driven by desires, by not performing them and by not desiring their fruits. However, relinquishment (tyāga) is the giving up of the fruits of actions.
फलानिच्छया शअकरणेन वा काम्यकर्मणो न्यासः संन्यासः। त्यागस्तु फलत्याग एव। तथा हि प्राचीनशालश्रुतिः-
Renunciation (saṃnyāsa) involves giving up actions driven by desires, by not performing them and by not desiring their fruits. However, relinquishment (tyāga) is the giving up of the fruits of actions. The prācīnaśāla scripture states the following:
"अनिच्छयाऽकर्मणा वापि काम्यकर्मन्यासो न्यासः फलं त्यागस्तु त्यागः॥"
"By not desiring, by not performing or abandoning actions driven with desire - is renunciation; however, relinquishment is the relinquishment of the fruits of actions."
इति॥२॥
- stated thus.
