The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

This verse explains how to attain liberation: one whose intellect is unattached everywhere, who has conquered the self, who is free from desires (asakta-buddhiḥ sarvatra jitātmā vigataspṛhaḥ), attains the supreme perfection of actionlessness through renunciation (naiṣkarmya-siddhiṁ paramāṁ sannyāsenādhigacchati). This is the key teaching: you can attain liberation from action (actionlessness) by having an unattached intellect, conquering yourself, and being free from desires. This is true renunciation: not abandoning action, but performing action without attachment, desire, or ego. Through this renunciation, you attain the supreme perfection—freedom from the bondage of action. When you understand this, you realize: you don't need to abandon action to be free. You can perform action with unattached intellect, without ego, without desires, and through this renunciation, you'll attain freedom from bondage. This is the path: unattached action leads to actionlessness.
