About this listen

This episode, an excerpt from the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, discusses the nature of renunciation (tyāga) and the renounced order of life (sannyāsa). It explains that true renunciation involves performing prescribed duties without attachment to the fruits of action, while activities based on material desires are considered to be in the mode of ignorance or passion. The episode further categorizes actions, knowledge, determination, and happiness into three categories – goodness, passion, and ignorance – and defines each category based on their underlying motivation and potential consequences.
