Verse 6.2
Verse 6.2: “What they commonly designate Renunciation, O Son of Pandu, understand Yoga (even-tempered activism) to be that (same); for, none that has not renounced his aims and interests can ever (claim to) be a Yogin. (52)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Who is commonly designated as a Sanyasin (one having renounced) is, O Arjuna, himself the Yogin and this flag of Union of the two paths has been hoisted by different Scriptures, and these seers and sages have also reached the truth in essence from their own experience that the even-tempered activity and Yoga Path begin just where the threads of illusory desires and fancies get snapped by renunciation while performing actions.
