“For the embodied cannot give up actions entirely (na hi deha-bhṛtā śakyaṃ tyaktuṃ karmāṇy aśeṣataḥ); but he who relinquishes the fruit of action, he is called the true renouncer (tyāgī).” The verse forecloses the escapist misreading once and for all (as at 3.8, 6.24). So long as one has a body, one acts — one breathes, eats, moves. Since total inaction is a fiction, “renunciation” must mean renunciation of fruit, not of action. The genuine sannyāsin may be busier than anyone (like Janaka, 3.20); what marks him is the empty space where the desire-for-result used to be.
