CHAPTER 6 The Yog of Meditation यं सन्न्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव। न ह्रासंन्यस्तसंकल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन॥2॥ [ “Remember, O Arjun, that yog (selfless action) is the same as renunciation (knowledge), for no man can be a yogi without a total rejection of desire.” ] What we know as renunciation is also yog, for no man can be a yogi without giving up all his desires. In other words, sacrifice of desire is essential for men who have chosen either of the ways. Superficially it appears so easy, for all that we need to do in order to become a yogi- sanyasi is to claim that we are free from desire. But according to Krishn it is by no means so.
