Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā · Chapter 5 of 18
Karma Sanyasa Yoga — The Yoga of Renunciation of Action
कर्मसंन्यासयोगः
Arjuna asks Krishna to settle a seeming contradiction: should he renounce action or perform it? Krishna answers that both paths lead to the same highest good, but disciplined action is easier and ultimately identical in result to the path of knowledge. He describes the person who acts without attachment as untouched by sin, like a lotus leaf untouched by water, and explains that true renunciation is internal -- a state of equanimity toward all beings, pleasure and pain, praise and blame -- rather than mere physical withdrawal from action. The chapter closes with the sage who has mastered the senses and mind, fixed in meditation, attaining lasting peace in Krishna as the friend and Lord of all beings.

5.1
संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि। यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम्॥
saṃnyāsaṃ karmaṇāṃ kṛṣṇa punaryogaṃ ca śaṃsasi, yacchreya etayorekaṃ tanme brūhi suniścitam.
हिन्दी अर्थ
अर्जुन बोले -- हे कृष्ण ! आप कर्मोंका स्वरूपसे त्याग करनेकी और फिर कर्मयोगकी प्रशंसा करते हैं। अतः इन दोनों साधनोंमें जो एक निश्चितरूपसे कल्याणकारक हो, उसको मेरे लिये कहिये।
English
Arjuna said: My Lord! At one moment Thou praisest renunciation of action; at another, right action. Tell me truly, I pray, which of these is the more conducive to my highest welfare?
Arjuna asks Krishna to clarify: is renunciation of action or engaged right action the better path to the highest good?
Krishna
5.2
संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ। तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते॥
saṃnyāsaḥ karmayogaśca niḥśreyasakarāvubhau, tayostu karmasaṃnyāsātkarmayogo viśiṣyate.
हिन्दी अर्थ
श्रीभगवान् बोले -- संन्यास (सांख्ययोग) और कर्मयोग दोनों ही कल्याण करनेवाले हैं। परन्तु उन दोनोंमें भी कर्मसंन्यास- (सांख्ययोग-) से कर्मयोग श्रेष्ठ है।
English
Lord Shri Krishna replied: Renunciation of action and the path of right action both lead to the highest; of the two, right action is the better.
Krishna says both renunciation and right action lead to the highest, but right action is the better of the two.
Krishna
5.3
ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति। निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते॥
jñeyaḥ sa nityasaṃnyāsī yo na dveṣṭi na kāṅkṣati, nirdvandvo hi mahābāho sukhaṃ bandhātpramucyate.
हिन्दी अर्थ
हे महाबाहो ! जो मनुष्य न किसीसे द्वेष करता है और न किसीकी आकाङ्क्षा करता है; वह (कर्मयोगी) सदा संन्यासी समझनेयोग्य है; क्योंकि द्वन्द्वोंसे रहित मनुष्य सुखपूर्वक संसार-बन्धनसे मुक्त हो जाता है।
English
He is a true ascetic who never desires or dislikes, who is uninfluenced by the opposites and is easily freed from bondage.
The true renunciant neither desires nor hates anything, and being free of these opposites, is easily released from bondage.
Krishna
5.4
सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः। एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्॥
sāṃkhyayogau pṛthagbālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ, ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyagubhayorvindate phalam.
हिन्दी अर्थ
बेसमझ लोग सांख्ययोग और कर्मयोगको अलग-अलग फलवाले कहते हैं, न कि पण्डितजन; क्योंकि इन दोनोंमेंसे एक साधनमें भी अच्छी तरहसे स्थित मनुष्य दोनोंके फलरूप परमात्माको प्राप्त कर लेता है।
English
Only the unenlightened speak of wisdom and right action as separate, not the wise. If any man knows one, he enjoys the fruit of both.
Only the immature see knowledge (Sankhya) and action (Yoga) as different; one who truly knows either gains the fruit of both.
Krishna
5.5
यत्सांख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते। एकं सांख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति॥
yatsāṃkhyaiḥ prāpyate sthānaṃ tadyogairapi gamyate, ekaṃ sāṃkhyaṃ ca yogaṃ ca yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati.
हिन्दी अर्थ
सांख्ययोगियोंके द्वारा जो तत्त्व प्राप्त किया जाता है, कर्मयोगियोंके द्वारा भी वही प्राप्त किया जाता है। अतः जो मनुष्य सांख्ययोग और कर्मयोगको (फलरूपमें) एक देखता है, वही ठीक देखता है।
English
The level which is reached by wisdom is attained through right action as well. He who perceives that the two are one, knows the truth.
The state reached through knowledge is the same state reached through action; one who sees this sees truly.
Krishna
5.6
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः। योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म नचिरेणाधिगच्छति॥
saṃnyāsastu mahābāho duḥkhamāptumayogataḥ, yogayukto munirbrahma nacireṇādhigacchati.
हिन्दी अर्थ
परन्तु हे महाबाहो ! कर्मयोगके बिना संन्यास सिद्ध होना कठिन है। मननशील कर्मयोगी शीघ्र ही ब्रह्मको प्राप्त हो जाता है।
English
Without concentration, O Mighty Man, renunciation is difficult. But the sage who is always meditating on the Divine, before long shall attain the Absolute.
Renunciation without practicing yoga is hard to attain, but the sage disciplined in yoga soon reaches Brahman.
Krishna
5.7
योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रियः। सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते॥
yogayukto viśuddhātmā vijitātmā jitendriyaḥ, sarvabhūtātmabhūtātmā kurvannapi na lipyate.
हिन्दी अर्थ
जिसकी इन्द्रियाँ अपने वशमें हैं, जिसका अन्तःकरण निर्मल है, जिसका शरीर अपने वशमें है और सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंकी आत्मा ही जिसकी आत्मा है, ऐसा कर्मयोगी कर्म करते हुए भी लिप्त नहीं होता।
English
He who is spiritual, who is pure, who has overcome his senses and his personal self, who has realised his highest Self as the Self of all, such a one, even though he acts, is not bound by his acts.
One disciplined in yoga, pure in self, with senses conquered, seeing the self in all beings, is untainted even while acting.

5.8
नैव किंचित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित्। पश्यन् श्रृणवन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपन् श्वसन्॥
naiva kiṃcitkaromīti yukto manyeta tattvavit, paśyan śrṛṇavanspṛśañjighrannaśnangacchansvapan śvasan.
हिन्दी अर्थ
तत्त्वको जाननेवाला सांख्ययोगी देखता, सुनता, छूता, सूँघता, खाता, चलता, ग्रहण करता, बोलता, मल-मूत्र का त्याग करता, सोता, श्वास लेता तथा आँखें खोलता और मूँदता भी सम्पूर्ण इन्द्रियाँ इन्द्रियोंके विषयोंमें बरत रही हैं' -- ऐसा समझकर 'मैं (स्वयं) कुछ भी नहीं करता हूँ' -- ऐसा माने।
English
Though the saint sees, hears, touches, smells, eats, moves, sleeps and breathes, yet he knows the Truth, and he knows that it is not he who acts.
The knower of truth understands that in seeing, hearing, touching, and all such acts, it is only the senses moving among their objects, not the self acting.
Krishna
5.9
प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि। इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन्॥

हिन्दी अर्थ
तत्त्वको जाननेवाला सांख्ययोगी देखता, सुनता, छूता, सूँघता, खाता, चलता, ग्रहण करता, बोलता, मल-मूत्र का त्याग करता, सोता हुआ, श्वास लेता तथा आँखें खोलता और मूँदता हुआ भी 'सम्पूर्ण इन्द्रियाँ इन्द्रियोंके विषयोंमें बरत रही हैं' -- ऐसा समझकर 'मैं (स्वयं) कुछ भी नहीं करता हूँ' -- ऐसा माने।
English
Though he talks, though he gives and receives, though he opens his eyes and shuts them, he still knows that his senses are merely disporting themselves among the objects of perception.
Even while speaking, giving, receiving, opening and closing the eyes, the wise hold this understanding, seeing it is the senses that act.
Krishna
5.10
ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा करोति यः। लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा॥
brahmaṇyādhāya karmāṇi saṅgaṃ tyaktvā karoti yaḥ, lipyate na sa pāpena padmapatramivāmbhasā.
हिन्दी अर्थ
जो (भक्तियोगी) सम्पूर्ण कर्मोंको भगवान् में अर्पण करके और आसक्तिका त्याग करके कर्म करता है, वह जलसे कमलके पत्तेकी तरह पापसे लिप्त नहीं होता।
English
He who dedicates his actions to the Spirit, without any personal attachment to them, he is no more tainted by sin than the water lily is wetted by water.
One who acts, offering all action to Brahman and abandoning attachment, is untouched by sin, like a lotus leaf untouched by water.
Krishna
5.11
कायेन मनसा बुद्ध्या केवलैरिन्द्रियैरपि। योगिनः कर्म कुर्वन्ति सङ्गं त्यक्त्वाऽऽत्मशुद्धये॥
kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalairindriyairapi, yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṃ tyaktvā''tmaśuddhaye.

The sage performs his action dispassionately, using his body, mind and intellect, and even his senses, always as a means of purification.
Yogis act with body, mind, intellect, and even the senses alone, without attachment, purely for self-purification.

युक्तः कर्मफलं त्यक्त्वा शान्तिमाप्नोति नैष्ठिकीम्। अयुक्तः कामकारेण फले सक्तो निबध्यते॥

हिन्दी अर्थ
कर्मयोगी कर्मफलका त्याग करके नैष्ठिकी शान्तिको प्राप्त होता है। परन्तु सकाम मनुष्य कामनाके कारण फलमें आसक्त होकर बँध जाता है।
English
Having abandoned the fruit of action, he wins eternal peace. Others unacquainted with spirituality, led by desire and clinging to the benefit which they think will follow their actions, become entangled in them.
The disciplined soul, giving up the fruit of action, attains lasting peace; the undisciplined, driven by desire and attachment to results, remains bound.
Krishna

सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी। नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन्॥

Mentally renouncing all actions, the self-controlled soul enjoys bliss in this body, the city of the nine gates, neither doing anything himself nor causing anything to be done.
The self-controlled person, mentally renouncing all actions, dwells at ease within the body's nine gates, neither acting nor causing action.

The Lord of this universe has not ordained activity, or any incentive thereto, or any relation between an act and its consequences. All this is the work of Nature.
The Lord creates neither agency, action, nor the union of action with its fruit; these arise only from nature's own workings.
