Uitleg

Krishna opens the chapter on meditation by returning to a question from the previous chapter: who is the true renouncer? He answers that renunciation (sannyāsa) is not a matter of outward signs. A person who stops tending the sacred fire or gives up all activity has not thereby renounced anything. The real renouncer, who is also the real yogi, does the work that ought to be done without leaning on its results. The verse ties the meditative discipline about to be taught firmly to the ethic of action Krishna has developed since chapter two.
