Sri Bhagavan
said: He who does his
duty without expecting the fruit
of actions is a Samnyasi
and a Yogi. He who has
merely renounced the sacred
fire (rituals), or who has
merely given up all activities
is no Samnyasi. (1)

O Pandava (Arjuna),
you must know that which
they call
samnyasa is
no other than yoga; for
none becomes a yogi, who
has not renounced thoughts.

To the contemplative
soul who desires to climb
to the heights of yoga,
disinterested action is spoken of
as a stepping stone; for
the same one when established
in yoga, serenity is said
to be the means. (3)
