Bhagavad Gita Adhyay(Chapter) : 18

Liberation Through   Renunciation ; Moksha Sanyasa Yoga Arjuna said, O mighty-armed one, I wish to understand the purpose of renunciation [tyaga] and of the renounced order of life [sannyasa], O killer of the Kesi demon, master of the senses.

"My intelligence is bewildered( very puzzled ) by Your equivocal( open to more than one interpretation ) instructions. Therefore, please tell me decisively( clearly ) which will be most beneficial for me." "The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O sinless Arjuna, I have already explained that there are two classes of men who try to realize the self.

"Not by merely abstaining ( restrain oneself from doing or enjoying something ) from work can one achieve freedom from reaction, nor by renunciation( the formal rejection of something ) alone can one attain perfection." "Everyone is forced to act ...
