The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna explains how to transcend action and attain liberation. 'Asakta-buddhiḥ sarvatra jitātmā vigataspṛhaḥ'—one whose intellect is unattached (asakta-buddhiḥ) everywhere (sarvatra), who has conquered the self (jitātmā), who is free from desires (vigata-spṛhaḥ). 'Naiṣkarmya-siddhiṁ paramāṁ sannyāsenādhigacchati'—attains (adhigacchati) the supreme (paramām) perfection of actionlessness (naiṣkarmya-siddhim) through renunciation (sannyāsena). 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. This is the path: unattached action leads to actionlessness.
