He who abandons action on account of the fear of bodily trouble (because it is painful), does not obtain the merit of renunciation by doing such Rajasic renunciation.

Paliwanag

The second form is rajasic relinquishment. A person gives up a duty because it is hard, out of fear of physical discomfort or strain. Such a person does not receive the fruit of true relinquishment. The motive is self-protection, not freedom. The verse names a very human tendency: dressing up avoidance as spiritual detachment. Krishna makes clear that giving up action to escape difficulty brings none of the peace that genuine letting go provides.
