Chapter 5: Path of Renunciationकर्मसंन्यासयोग
5:6
“O mighty-armed one, renunciation is difficult to attain without yoga. The sage who is devoted to yoga soon attains Brahman.”
Sanskrit
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः | योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म नचिरेणाधिगच्छति ||
Transliteration
sannyāsas tu mahā-bāho duḥkham āptum ayogataḥ yoga-yukto munir brahma nacireṇādhigacchati
Commentary
Without the foundation of yoga (disciplined action), renunciation becomes mere escapism. True renunciation naturally follows mastery in action.
