ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
त्यक्त्वा कर्मफलासड़ूं नित्यतृप्तो निराश्रय: । कर्मण्यभिप्रवृत्तो5पियं नैव किंचित् करोति सः
tyaktvā karmaphalāsaṅgaṁ nityatṛpto nirāśrayaḥ | karmaṇy abhipravṛtto 'pi naiva kiñcit karoti saḥ ||
Sesiapa yang telah meninggalkan sepenuhnya keterikatan pada hasil perbuatan, sentiasa puas di dalam diri, dan tidak bergantung pada apa pun di dunia—walaupun giat berbuat—sesungguhnya tidak melakukan apa-apa. Apabila kerja dilakukan tanpa rasa memiliki dan tanpa dahaga akan hasil, diri tidak ternoda oleh perbuatan.

Educational Q&A
True freedom in action comes from giving up attachment to results. When one works without craving, possessiveness, or dependence on worldly supports—and remains inwardly content—one is not bound by action, even while acting.
Arjuna is speaking, articulating an ideal of conduct: a person who has renounced attachment to outcomes and is inwardly fulfilled can still participate in necessary actions without accruing binding agency or moral entanglement.
