B.G 5.06

संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः। योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म न चिरेणाधिगच्छति ॥६॥

O Arjuna, mere renunciation without being engaged in Yōga results in misery. The monk who is engaged in Yōga attains that Brahman, the supreme reality without delay.

Gīta Bhāshya 5.06

Yōga is superior to mere renunciation. Thus, when one combines renunciation with Yōga, it yields the ultimate good, hence become 'yōgayukto'. 'muni' - one who has given up desire and anger.

इतश्च संन्यासाद् योगो वरः इत्याह - संन्यासस्तु इति।

The 'saṁnyāsastu' verse conveys that Yōga is superior to mere renunciation.

योगाभावे मोक्षादिफलं न भवति। अतः कामजयादि दुःखमेव तस्य। मोक्षाद्येव हि फलं।अन्यत् फलम् अल्पत्वात् अफलमेव इति आशयः। तच्चोक्तं-

In the absence of Yōga, one does not obtain liberation and such results. Thus, conquering desire and others (senses) will only result in misery. The intended meaning is - Only the liberation is considered as a result, as in comparison to liberation, everything else, being inferior, is like non-result. Therefore, it is said:

"विना मोक्षफलं यत्तु न तत्फलमुदीर्यते।"

"Whatever is without the fruit of liberation, that is not considered as a result."

इति पाद्मे।

-states Padma Purana.

यत्तु महत्फलयोग्यं तस्य फलं फलमेव न भवति। यथा पद्मरागस्य तण्डुलमुष्टिः। महाफलश्च योगयुक्तश्चेत् संन्यास इत्याह - योगयुक्त इति। मुनिः संन्यासी। तथाचोक्तम्-

A fist full of rice is not considered valuable compared to a precious ruby stone. Similarly, compared to whatever is capable of yielding great results, the miner results are considered as no result. When the renunciation is combined with Yōga, the greatest of results is possible. Hence it is told - 'Yōgayukta', i.e. engage yourself in Yōga. The word 'muni' means ascetic. Thus it is said:

"स हि लोके मुनिर्नाम यः कामक्रोधवर्जितः।"

"Indeed, in this world he is called 'muni', i.e. monk, who has given up desire and anger."

इति ॥६॥

-states testimonial.

Gīta Tātparya 5.06

Yōga is performing the activities without expectation and offering the results to lord Vishnu. Mere renunciation in the form of abandoning activities results in misery.

"मोक्षोपायो योग इति तद्रूपो न्यास एव तु। विष्ण्वर्पिततया भद्रो नाऽन्यो न्यासः कथञ्चन॥"

"The solution to liberation is Yōga. Its form only is renunciation. That which is offered to lord Vishnu is auspicious and considered as renunciation. There is no other way to renounce."

इति आग्नेये।

- states Agni Purana.

विष्ण्वर्पितत्वादियोगरूपत्वं विना केवलकर्मत्यागो नरकफल एव।

Only those activities performed as an offering to lord Vishnu is of the form of Yōga. Without such an attitude, if one renounces just the activities, it only results in misery.

"यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव" (गीत ६.२)

"That which is termed as renunciation, understand it to be Yōga as well." (Gīta 6.2)

इति वक्ष्यमाणत्वात्। योगविशेषत्वात् न्यासस्य पृथगुक्तिः ॥६॥

- it is stated thus in the future. Because of the speciality of Yōga, compared to mere renunciation, it is separately mentioned.
