What people call renunciation, know to be yoga — the two are one thing seen from two sides. The condition given is precise: no one becomes a yogī without renouncing saṅkalpa, the self-willed projection of how things must turn out.

✨ Devotional Takeaway:Renunciation and yoga are one thing; what is given up is saṅkalpa, not activity.
