यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव | न ह्यसंन्यस्तसङ्कल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन
yaṃ saṃnyāsamiti prāhuryogaṃ taṃ viddhi pāṇḍava . na hyasaṃnyastasaṅkalpo yogī bhavati kaścana
般度子（Pāṇḍava）啊，他們所稱的棄絕（Sannyasa），你要知道那便是瑜伽（Yoga）。因為，任何一個沒有放棄意圖（Sankalpa）的人，都無法成為瑜伽士（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.
意圖（Sankalpa）是心靈想像力的運作，它為未來制定計劃並猜測這些計劃的結果。任何一個計劃、圖謀並期望其行動果報的人，都無法成為業瑜伽士（Karma Yogi）。任何一個沒有放棄行動果報念頭的行動奉獻者，都無法成為心意穩定的瑜伽士。對果報的思慮必然會使心意不穩。主克里希納在此讚揚業瑜伽，因為它是禪定瑜伽（Dhyana Yoga）的手段或外在輔助（Bahiranga Sadhana）。業瑜伽是通往禪定瑜伽的墊腳石，它最終會引導至冥想瑜伽。為了鼓勵業瑜伽的實踐，此處指出業瑜伽即是棄絕（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)
