अक्षरब्रह्मयोग (Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga) — Knowledge of the Imperishable, Prakṛti, and Devotion
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगत: । योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्दा नचिरेणाधिगच्छति
sannyāsas tu mahābāho duḥkham āptum ayogataḥ | yogayukto munir brahma na cireṇādhigacchati ||
O mighty-armed one, renunciation is hard to attain without disciplined practice; but the sage who is integrated in yoga quickly reaches Brahman.

Educational Q&A
Renunciation (true freedom from doership and attachment) is difficult without yoga—disciplined inner integration. A person established in yoga, especially through selfless action and steady contemplation, quickly realizes Brahman.
In the midst of the Kurukṣetra teaching, Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa and reflects on the path to liberation, contrasting mere external renunciation with the practical efficacy of yoga (notably karma-yoga) for swift spiritual realization.
