|| जय श्री कृष्ण ||
॥ श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता ॥ 18.2॥
_श्रीभगवानुवाच_
_काम्यानां कर्मणा न्यासं सन्न्यासं कवयो विदुः ।_
_सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः॥_
भावार्थ :
श्री भगवान बोले- कितने ही पण्डितजन तो काम्य कर्मों के (स्त्री, पुत्र और धन आदि प्रिय वस्तुओं की प्राप्ति के लिए तथा रोग-संकटादि की निवृत्ति के लिए जो यज्ञ, दान, तप और उपासना आदि कर्म किए जाते हैं, उनका नाम काम्यकर्म है।) त्याग को संन्यास समझते हैं तथा दूसरे विचारकुशल पुरुष सब कर्मों के फल के त्याग को (ईश्वर की भक्ति, देवताओं का पूजन, माता-पितादि गुरुजनों की सेवा, यज्ञ, दान और तप तथा वर्णाश्रम के अनुसार आजीविका द्वारा गृहस्थ का निर्वाह एवं शरीर संबंधी खान-पान इत्यादि जितने कर्तव्यकर्म हैं, उन सबमें इस लोक और परलोक की सम्पूर्ण कामनाओं के त्याग का नाम सब कर्मों के फल का त्याग है) त्याग कहते हैं॥२॥
Meaning:
Shree Bhagavaan said:
Sages understand sannyaasa to be the giving up of desire prompted actions. Giving up the rewards of all actions is tyaaga, the learned ones declare.
Explanation:
Arjuna wanted to know the difference between sanyaasa and tyaaga. Shri Krishna did not answer this question directly. He wanted to answer the question in such a way that Arjuna would be able to put the answer into practical use, and not get caught in complicated semantics, something that has only academic value. It was almost as though he said - Arjuna, you don’t worry about the difference in meaning of sanyaasa and tyaaga for now. You are a warrior, a kshatriya. I will tell you what is appropriate for you such that you can advance spiritually.
Before we analyze Shri Krishna’s answer, let us revisit the classifications of karmas or actions. Our actions are determined by two factors: our varna or profession, and our ashrama or stage in life. Based on these two factors, we can classify our actions broadly into three types: obligatory duties or nitya karmas, desire prompted actions or kaamya karmas and prohibited actions or nishiddha karmas. Raising a family is a duty for a householder, whereas it is prohibited for a brahmachaari or student, for instance. Reckless accumulation of wealth, beyond that which is needed to support a family, is desire prompted action.
Now let us look at Shri Krishna’s answer. Looking at the way he answers the question, we can infer that initially, he is less concerned with the precise meaning of sanyaasa versus tyaaga, and more concerned with listing the various views on the topic of karma yoga, of how to perform actions correctly. He gives two prevailing views on the subject. The first view is that one should give up all kaamya karmas, all desire prompted actions. The second view is that one should give up the rewards of all types of actions, including kaamya karmas and nitya karmas or duties. He gives two more views on the topic in the next shloka.
