RIGHT ACTION

Thus, there is no real distinction between the way of renunciation and the way of duty performed. True renunciation and true performance of work are identical, the essence of both being the giving up of personal desire.

Children, but not those who know, speak of the Sankhya and the Yoga as different; he who is duly established in either obtains the fruits of both.

VI-1

That which is called renunciation, know that as Yoga, no one can become a Yogi who has not renounced plans and desires.
