Chapter 18 verse 2
“Bhagwan Sri Krishna said: Giving up of actions motivated by desire is what the wise understand as sanyāsa. Relinquishing the fruits of all actions is what the learned declare to be tyāga.”
“Sanyāsa”
is not complete cessation of actions. People who renounce the world still do
daily actions to sustain their body, mind, intellect constitution. None of
their actions are driven by desire of particular results. On the other hand, “tyāga”
is the action of giving up desire laden actions completely. For one to follow
the path of tyāga, one doesn’t need to renounce the world, family and worldly
order but live in this world like a tortoise which withdraws its limbs into
their shell.
