Uitleg

The long sentence reaches its conclusion. This state is to be known as yoga, defined in a striking phrase as duḥkha-saṃyoga-viyoga, the unyoking from union with sorrow. The play on words reverses the usual sense of yoga as joining: true yoga is a disjoining from suffering. Krishna adds that it must be practised with firm resolve and a mind that does not grow weary or discouraged. The verse gives both a definition and a warning: the path is real but asks for patient, steady effort.
