Uitleg

Krishna first reports what the learned say. Sages call renunciation (sannyāsa) the giving up of actions done for desired ends. The discerning call relinquishment (tyāga) the letting go of the fruits of all actions. The first definition is about which acts one stops doing; the second is about one's inner attitude toward all acts. By setting them side by side, Krishna prepares to show that the second, inner letting go is what matters most.
