Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 66

 Chapter 18 verse 66               

“Abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply surrender unto me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear.” 

Bhagawan is asking for “karma sanyasa” in this verse. This is the renunciation of all material duties in deference to service of the Divine. Total surrender is the key. This is even above “karma yoga” where there is still association with the material instruments of body, mind, intellect and ego which doing one’s assigned work without expecting a particular result of the action. Karma Sanyasa surrenders all actions to reach the state of “unaction” not “inaction”. Bhagawan is not asking Arjuna to not perform but do everything for Him and so don’t even worry about doing. Why did Bhagawan wait till now to give this direct instruction?
