Shloka 1 
Sanskrit:
अर्जुन उवाच |
संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि |
यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम् ॥ ५.१ ॥
Transliteration:
Arjuna uvācha:
Sannyāsam karmaṇām kṛiṣhṇa punar yogam cha śhaṁsasi,
Yach chhreya etayor ekam tan me brūhi suniśhchitam.
Meaning:
Arjuna said: O Krishna, You praise renunciation of actions (sannyasa), and again You praise yoga (performance of actions in devotion). Please tell me conclusively which one of these two is better for me.
Explanation:
Arjuna is confused and seeks clarity! Krishna has spoken of both renouncing work (like in jnana paths) and acting selflessly (karma yoga). Arjuna wants a definite answer—which path wins? This sets up the chapter's epic resolution.
Shloka 2 Sanskrit:
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ |
तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते ॥ ५.२ ॥
Transliteration:
Śhrī-bhagavān uvācha:
Sannyāsaḥ karma-yogaśh cha niḥśhreyasa-karāv ubhau,
Tayos tu karma-sannyāsāt karma-yogo viśhiṣhyate.
Meaning:
The Supreme Lord said: Both renunciation (sannyasa) and karma yoga lead to the supreme goal of liberation. But of the two, karma yoga (working in devotion) is superior to mere renunciation of actions.
Explanation:
Krishna answers directly: Both paths work—they free you from bondage! But karma yoga (acting without attachment, offering to God) is better—especially for active people like Arjuna. It's practical, purifying, and leads faster to peace. No need to quit duties!
Shloka 3 Sanskrit:
ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति |
निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ॥ ५.३ ॥
Transliteration:
Jñeyaḥ sa nitya-sannyāsī yo na dveṣhṭi na kāṅkṣhati,
Nirdvandvo hi mahā-bāho sukham bandhāt pramuchyate.
Meaning:
One who neither hates nor desires the results of actions is to be known as a constant renunciate. Free from duality (pairs of opposites), O mighty-armed one, he easily escapes bondage and attains happiness.
Explanation:
True sannyasa isn't just quitting work—it's quitting attachment inside! No liking/hating outcomes, no duality (hot-cold, praise-blame)—that's real renunciation. Such a person finds effortless freedom and joy. Inner detachment = true liberation!
Today’s TakeawayAction or renunciation? Both lead home—but act selflessly! Krishna says karma yoga wins for most: Do your duty, offer it to the Divine, drop expectations. No hatred, no craving—stay balanced in opposites, and bondage melts away. Live actively with inner freedom—that's the winning path!
