Bhagavad Gita · Raja Vidya Raja Guhya YogaChapter 9, Shloka 28 (9.28)
Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
शुभाशुभफलैरेवं मोक्ष्यसे कर्मबन्धनैः
सन्न्यासयोगयुक्तात्मा विमुक्तो मामुपैष्यसि
॥ 9.28 ॥
śubhāśubhaphalairevaṃ mokṣyase karmabandhanaiḥ
sannyāsayogayuktātmā vimukto māmupaiṣyasi
Translation
"In this way (offering everything) you will be freed from the bonds of action that bring good and bad fruits; and with your mind set on the yoga of renunciation, liberated, you will come to me."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya — offering = renunciation. Evaṃ mad-arpaṇaṃ kurvan mokṣyase; so'yaṃ saṃnyāsa-yogo nāma saṃnyāsaś ca asau mat-samarpaṇatayā karmatvāt yogaś ca asau iti — this is called "the yoga of renunciation (sannyasa-yoga)": renunciation because it is offered to me, and yoga because it is action; jīvann eva patite cāsmin śarīre mām upaiṣyasi — (free) while still living, and when this body falls you will come to me. Then a question: rāga-dveṣavān tarhi bhagavān yato bhaktān anugṛhṇāti na itarān — then does the Lord have likes and dislikes, since he shows grace only to his devotees? — the answer is 9.29.
Acharya Ramanuja. Saṃnyāsākhya-yoga-yukta-manā ātmānaṃ mac-cheṣatā-man-niyāmyataika-rasaṃ karma ca sarvaṃ mad-ārādhanam anusaṃdadhānaḥ — understanding yourself as wholly mine and governed by me, and all action as worship of me; laukikaṃ vaidikaṃ ca karma kurvan — while continuing to do worldly and Vedic duties; prācīna-karmākhyaiḥ bandhanaiḥ … sarvaiḥ mokṣyase — you will be freed from all the bonds of past karma.
