Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 6.01
श्री भगवानुवाच
अनाश्रितः कर्मफलं कार्यं कर्म करोति यः। स संन्यासी च योगी च न निरग्निर्न चाक्रियः ॥१॥
śrī bhagavānuvāca
anāśritaḥ karmaphalaṁ kāryaṁ karma karoti yaḥ। sa saṁnyāsī ca yogī ca na niragnirna cākriyaḥ ॥1॥
The revered Divine Lord said,
One who performs activities without seeking the fruits of the action is both a renunciant and a Yogi. Not he who is devoid of fire, as well as activities.
Gīta Bhāshya 6.01
An internal discipline to be practiced for knowledge is explained in this chapter. Practicing detachment is necessary along with Yoga. Intent is not to recommend detachment and inaction for monkhood.
Lord Hari is only Om!
In this chapter, the yoga of equanimity, which is an internal discipline to be practiced for knowledge, is expounded. The required detachment to be practiced along with Yoga is explained in 'anāśrita' verse. Even for those in the fourth stage of life, i.e. monkhood, the necessity of action and the concept of sacrificial fire have been explained in the verse 'daivameva' (Gita 4.25).
"For the renounced order, fire is the Brahman, and his worship is the recommended action."
- stated thus by testimonials as well.
Therefore, without sacrificial fire and without duties, one is neither an ascetic nor a Yogi.
Gīta Tātparya 6.01
The method of meditation is explained exclusively in this chapter. The ascetics are not without sacrificial fire. Indeed, they are offering their own self as a sacrifice.
Lord Hari oonly is Om!
The method of meditation is explained exclusively.
"The great ascetic who is established in Brahman offers into the sacrificial fire of the body through his mouth." (For an ascetic, his body itself in the sacrificial fire, and food he eats through his mouth is like a sacrificial offering.)
Such testimonials indicate that ascetics are not without sacrificial fire. Indeed, they are offering their own self as a sacrifice.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
