कर्मसंन्यासयोग
The Yoga of Renunciation · 29 Shlokas
Krishna reconciles renunciation (sanyasa) and selfless action (karma yoga), showing that both lead to the same supreme goal. The truly wise act without attachment, dedicating everything to the Divine, and abide in unshaken inner peace.
अर्जुन उवाच संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि। यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्िचतम्
ಅರ್ಜುನ ಉವಾಚ ಸಂನ್ಯಾಸಂ ಕರ್ಮಣಾಂ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಪುನರ್ಯೋಗಂ ಚ ಶಂಸಸಿ। ಯಚ್ಛ್ರೇಯ ಏತಯೋರೇಕಂ ತನ್ಮೇ ಬ್ರೂಹಿ ಸುನಿಶ್ಿಚತಮ್
arjuna uvācha sannyāsaṁ karmaṇāṁ kṛiṣhṇa punar yogaṁ cha śhansasi yach chhreya etayor ekaṁ tan me brūhi su-niśhchitam
📖 Meaning
Arjuna said, "O Krishna, you praise renunciation of actions and also yoga. Please tell me conclusively which is better of the two."
श्री भगवानुवाच संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ। तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते
ಶ್ರೀ ಭಗವಾನುವಾಚ ಸಂನ್ಯಾಸಃ ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗಶ್ಚ ನಿಃಶ್ರೇಯಸಕರಾವುಭೌ। ತಯೋಸ್ತು ಕರ್ಮಸಂನ್ಯಾಸಾತ್ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗೋ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಯತೇ
śhrī bhagavān uvācha sannyāsaḥ karma-yogaśh cha niḥśhreyasa-karāvubhau tayos tu karma-sannyāsāt karma-yogo viśhiṣhyate
📖 Meaning
The Blessed Lord said, "Renunciation and the Yoga of action both lead to the highest bliss; but of the two, the Yoga of action is superior to the renunciation of action."
ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति। निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते
ಜ್ಞೇಯಃ ಸ ನಿತ್ಯಸಂನ್ಯಾಸೀ ಯೋ ನ ದ್ವೇಷ್ಟಿ ನ ಕಾಙ್ಕ್ಷತಿ। ನಿರ್ದ್ವನ್ದ್ವೋ ಹಿ ಮಹಾಬಾಹೋ ಸುಖಂ ಬನ್ಧಾತ್ಪ್ರಮುಚ್ಯತೇ
jñeyaḥ sa nitya-sannyāsī yo na dveṣhṭi na kāṅkṣhati nirdvandvo hi mahā-bāho sukhaṁ bandhāt pramuchyate
📖 Meaning
He should be known as a perpetual Sannyasi who neither hates nor desires; for, free from the pairs of opposites, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he is easily freed from bondage.
सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः। एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्
ಸಾಂಖ್ಯಯೋಗೌ ಪೃಥಗ್ಬಾಲಾಃ ಪ್ರವದನ್ತಿ ನ ಪಣ್ಡಿತಾಃ। ಏಕಮಪ್ಯಾಸ್ಥಿತಃ ಸಮ್ಯಗುಭಯೋರ್ವಿನ್ದತೇ ಫಲಮ್
sānkhya-yogau pṛithag bālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyag ubhayor vindate phalam
📖 Meaning
Children, not the wise, speak of knowledge and the Yoga of action, or the performance of action, as though they are distinct and different; he who is truly established in one, obtains the fruits of both.
यत्सांख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते। एकं सांख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति
ಯತ್ಸಾಂಖ್ಯೈಃ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯತೇ ಸ್ಥಾನಂ ತದ್ಯೋಗೈರಪಿ ಗಮ್ಯತೇ। ಏಕಂ ಸಾಂಖ್ಯಂ ಚ ಯೋಗಂ ಚ ಯಃ ಪಶ್ಯತಿ ಸ ಪಶ್ಯತಿ
yat sānkhyaiḥ prāpyate sthānaṁ tad yogair api gamyate ekaṁ sānkhyaṁ cha yogaṁ cha yaḥ paśhyati sa paśhyati
📖 Meaning
That place which is reached by the Sankhyas or the Jnanis is also reached by the Yogis (Karma Yogis). He who sees knowledge and the performance of action (Karma Yoga) as one, sees truly.
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः। योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म नचिरेणाधिगच्छति
ಸಂನ್ಯಾಸಸ್ತು ಮಹಾಬಾಹೋ ದುಃಖಮಾಪ್ತುಮಯೋಗತಃ। ಯೋಗಯುಕ್ತೋ ಮುನಿರ್ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ನಚಿರೇಣಾಧಿಗಚ್ಛತಿ
sannyāsas tu mahā-bāho duḥkham āptum ayogataḥ yoga-yukto munir brahma na chireṇādhigachchhati
📖 Meaning
But, O mighty-armed Arjuna, renunciation is hard to attain without Yoga; the sage who is in harmony with Yoga quickly goes to Brahman.
योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रियः। सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते
ಯೋಗಯುಕ್ತೋ ವಿಶುದ್ಧಾತ್ಮಾ ವಿಜಿತಾತ್ಮಾ ಜಿತೇನ್ದ್ರಿಯಃ। ಸರ್ವಭೂತಾತ್ಮಭೂತಾತ್ಮಾ ಕುರ್ವನ್ನಪಿ ನ ಲಿಪ್ಯತೇ
yoga-yukto viśhuddhātmā vijitātmā jitendriyaḥ sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā kurvann api na lipyate
📖 Meaning
He who is devoted to the path of action, whose mind is pure, who has conquered the self, who has subdued his senses, and who realizes his Self as the Self in all beings, though acting, is not tainted.

I do nothing at all," thus would the harmonized knower of Truth think, seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping, and breathing.

📖 Meaning
Speaking, letting go, seizing, opening, and closing the eyes, one should be convinced that the senses move among the sense-objects.

📖 Meaning
He who does actions, offering them to Brahman and abandoning attachment, is not tainted by sin, just as a lotus leaf is not tainted by water.

ಕಾಯೇನ ಮನಸಾ ಬುದ್ಧ್ಯಾ ಕೇವಲೈರಿನ್ದ್ರಿಯೈರಪಿ। ಯೋಗಿನಃ ಕರ್ಮ ಕುರ್ವನ್ತಿ ಸಙ್ಗಂ ತ್ಯಕ್ತ್ವಾಽಽತ್ಮಶುದ್ಧಯೇ
kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalair indriyair api yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṁ tyaktvātma-śhuddhaye
📖 Meaning
Yogis, having abandoned attachment, perform actions only through the body, mind, intellect, and even the senses, for the purification of the self.

yuktaḥ karma-phalaṁ tyaktvā śhāntim āpnoti naiṣhṭhikīm ayuktaḥ kāma-kāreṇa phale sakto nibadhyate
📖 Meaning
The one who is united (the well-poised or harmonized) having abandoned the fruit of action attains eternal peace; whereas the one who is not united (the unsteady or unbalanced), impelled by desire and attached to the fruit, is bound.
सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी। नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन्

na kartṛitvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛijati prabhuḥ na karma-phala-saṅyogaṁ svabhāvas tu pravartate
📖 Meaning
Neither does the Lord create agency nor actions for the world, nor union with the fruits of actions; rather, it is Nature that acts.

ನಾದತ್ತೇ ಕಸ್ಯಚಿತ್ಪಾಪಂ ನ ಚೈವ ಸುಕೃತಂ ವಿಭುಃ। ಅಜ್ಞಾನೇನಾವೃತಂ ಜ್ಞಾನಂ ತೇನ ಮುಹ್ಯನ್ತಿ ಜನ್ತವಃ
nādatte kasyachit pāpaṁ na chaiva sukṛitaṁ vibhuḥ ajñānenāvṛitaṁ jñānaṁ tena muhyanti jantavaḥ
📖 Meaning
The Lord takes neither the demerit nor the merit of any; knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and beings are deluded.

📖 Meaning
Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That, established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.

ihaiva tair jitaḥ sargo yeṣhāṁ sāmye sthitaṁ manaḥ nirdoṣhaṁ hi samaṁ brahma tasmād brahmaṇi te sthitāḥ
📖 Meaning
Even here in this world, those whose minds rest in reality overcome birth; Brahman is indeed spotless and real; therefore they are established in Brahman.

Resting in Brahman, with a steady intellect and undeluded, the knower of Brahman neither rejoices upon obtaining what is pleasant nor grieves upon obtaining what is unpleasant.

📖 Meaning
The enjoyments that arise from contact are only sources of pain, for they have a beginning and an end, O Arjuna; the wise do not rejoice in them.
