श्रीभगवानुवाच | काम्यानां कर्मणां न्यासं संन्यासं कवयो विदुः | सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः
śrībhagavānuvāca . kāmyānāṃ karmaṇāṃ nyāsaṃ saṃnyāsaṃ kavayo viduḥ . sarvakarmaphalatyāgaṃ prāhustyāgaṃ vicakṣaṇāḥ
ശ്രീഭഗവാൻ പറഞ്ഞു: കാമ്യകർമ്മങ്ങളുടെ പരിത്യാഗത്തെ സന്ന്യാസമെന്ന് പണ്ഡിതന്മാർ അറിയുന്നു. എല്ലാ കർമ്മങ്ങളുടെയും ഫലങ്ങളെ ത്യജിക്കുന്നതിനെ വിവേകികൾ ത്യാഗം എന്ന് പറയുന്നു.
The Blessed Lord said The learned ones know sannyasa to be the giving up of actions done with a desire for reward. The adepts call the abandonment of the results of all works as tyaga.
ഫലേച്ഛയോടെ ചെയ്യുന്ന കർമ്മങ്ങളെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നതാണ് സന്ന്യാസം. എന്നാൽ, എല്ലാ കർമ്മങ്ങളുടെയും ഫലങ്ങളെ ഉപേക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനെയാണ് ത്യാഗം എന്ന് വിവേകികൾ പറയുന്നത്. സന്ന്യാസവും ത്യാഗവും തമ്മിലുള്ള പ്രധാന വ്യത്യാസം ഇവിടെ ഭഗവാൻ വ്യക്തമാക്കുന്നു.
By Swami Sivananda18.2 काम्यानाम् (of) desireful? कर्मणाम् of actions? न्यासम् the renunciation? संन्यासम् Sannyasa? कवयः the sages? विदुः understand? सर्वकर्मफलत्यागम् the abandonment of the fruits of all works? प्राहुः declare? त्यागम् abandonment? विचक्षणाः the wise.Commentary Kamya Karmani Activities such as the Asvamedha (a special sacrifice)? etc.? which are performed for the attainment of specific selfish ends. The wise men declare that Tyaga means abandonment of the fruits of all the Nitya and Naimittika works (ordinary and extraordinary or occasional duties).The rootmeaning of the words Sannyasa and Tyaga is to give up. In popular usage Sannyasa and Tyaga are more or less synonymous. Both mean renunciation. The two words do not mean two altogether distinct ideas as stone and fruit? or pot and cloth. They convey the same general idea with a slight distinction.An objector asks It is said that the Nitya and Naimittika actions cannot produce any fruits. Why then is the relinishment of their fruits mentioned here It is like asking for the relinishment of the barren womans sonWe say The objection is not correct. In the opinion of the Lord? ordinary and occasional duties cause their own fruits (vide XVIII.12). Sannyasins alone who have renounced the desire for the fruits of actions will not get the fruits? but other persons will have to reap the fruits of the ordinary and occasional actions.If one renounces all actions after the attainment of Selfrealisation and enters into the fourth order of life (Sannyasa) it is called VidvatSannyasa. If one renounces all actions and enters into the order of Sannyasa for the sake of doing VedantaVichara (or reflection on the truths of the Vedantaphilosophy and on the true significance of the great sentences of the Upanishads which reveal the identity of the individual soul with the Supreme Being) and for thus attaining Selfrealisation? it is called VividishaSannyasa.
