Chapter 18
Mokshasanyaasa Yoga

12. Undesirable or desirable and also the mixed ones, thus the threefold fruits of actions accrue to those on their death; none for those who have renounced.
Bhashya :- Here in this verse, undesirable renunciation is praised.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- For the others, it (renunciation) is desirable. However, being mere renouncer (of actions) is not sufficient. For the men of wisdom and for those who are keen for deliverance, there exist no other fruit for action. For the renouncer having knowledge of the fundamental principles, Eternal Bliss itself is the fruit. There is no fruit other than this. With no expectation of fruits for themselves, the renouncer performs actions desiring welfare of the others. But the relinquisher (सन्यासी) does not perform actions associated with desire, even as the actions end in welfare of others. However, the renunciation exists for the renouncer as well as for the relinquisher. “Those who do not perform any actions (associated with desires), even when they are for the welfare of others, are called relinquishers (सन्यासी ); these are superior to the mere renouncers”.
