Chapter-5 Karma Sanyāsa Yogaḥ

kāyena manasā buddhyā kevalair-indriyair-api | yoginaḥ karma kurvanti saṅgaṃ tyaktvā’tma śuddhaye || 11 || 11. By means of the body, the mind, the intellect and the senses, do Yogins, renouncing attachment perform actions — merely for self- purification. Commentary Giving up attachment to heaven etc., Yoga practitioners perform such actions through means of the body, mind and the intellect for purifying themselves, that is, for annulling the bonds of previously accumulated Karma which has affected the Self by way of obscuring its true nature and entangling it in Samsara.
