यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव | न ह्यसंन्यस्तसङ्कल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन
yaṃ saṃnyāsamiti prāhuryogaṃ taṃ viddhi pāṇḍava . na hyasaṃnyastasaṅkalpo yogī bhavati kaścana
潘达瓦（Pāṇḍava）啊，他们所称的弃绝（Sannyasa），你要知道那便是瑜伽（Yoga）。因为，任何没有放弃意念（Sankalpa）的人，都无法成为瑜伽士（Yogi）。
That which they call monasticism, know that to be Yoa, O Pandava, For, nobody who has not given up expectations can be a yogi.
意念（Sankalpa）是心意想象力的运作，它为未来制定计划并猜测这些计划的结果。任何计划、谋划并期望其行为果报的人，都无法成为业瑜伽士（Karma Yogi）。任何没有放弃行为果报念头的行动奉献者，都无法成为心意坚定的瑜伽士。对果报的思虑必然会使心意不安。克里希那（Kṛṣṇa）在此赞扬业瑜伽（Karma Yoga），因为它是一种达到禅那瑜伽（Dhyana Yoga）的手段或外在辅助（Bahiraṅga Sādhana）。业瑜伽是通往禅那瑜伽的垫脚石，它最终会引导至冥想瑜伽。为了鼓励业瑜伽的实践，此处指出业瑜伽即是弃绝（Sannyasa）。
Sankalpa is the working of the imagining faculty of the mind that makes plans for the future and guesses the results of plans so formed. No one can become a Karma Yogi who plans and schemes and expects fruits for his actions. No devotee of action who has not renounced the thought of the fruits of his actions can become a Yogi of steady mind. The thought of the fruits will certainly make the mind unsteady.Lord Krishna eulogises Karma Yoga here because it is the means or an external aid (Bahiranga Sadhana) to Dhyana Yoga. Karma Yoga is a steppingstone to Dhyana Yoga. It leads to the Yoga of Meditation in due course. In order to encourage the practice of Karna Yoga it is stated here that Karma Yoga is Sannyasa. (Cf.V.4)
