Study Notes
Chapter 5: Renunciation of Action and Yoga of Action
- The chapter discusses the concept of renunciation of action (sannyasa) and yoga of action (karma yoga).
- Arjuna asks Krishna to clarify which path is better, renunciation of action or yoga of action.
Renunciation of Action and Yoga of Action
- Both paths lead to the highest Bliss, but yoga of action is superior to renunciation of action.
- Yoga of action involves performing actions without attachment to their fruits.
The True Nature of Action
- One who does actions, offering them to Brahman, abandoning attachment, is not tainted by sin.
- The actions of such a person are like a lotus leaf that remains unaffected by the water on it.
The Importance of Self-Control
- A person who has control over their senses and is self-controlled is not bound by desire and attachment.
- Such a person attains eternal peace.
The United and the Non-United
- The united one (the well-poised or harmonized) attains eternal peace, while the non-united one (the unsteady or unbalanced) is bound by desire and attachment.
The Purification of the Self

- He is a yogi who has achieved absolute freedom or moksha.
The Illuminated
- He who is happy within, rejoices within, and is illuminated within is a yogi who has attained absolute freedom or moksha.
