Chapter 5: Karma Sannyasa Yoga

renunciation and action

Arjuna asks which is better, giving up action or acting selflessly. Krishna says both lead to the goal, but that selfless action is the easier path to reach it. The one who acts without attachment is untouched by the action, like a lotus leaf that water does not wet, and sees all beings with the same eye.

Inner renunciation matters more than leaving the world.
