Moksha Sannyasa Yoga
The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation
The final and longest chapter of the Bhagavad Gita serves as a summary of the entire text. Krishna explains the concepts of renunciation (sannyasa) and त्याग (tyaga), concluding that true renunciation is not the giving up of action, but the renunciation of the fruits of action. The chapter culminates with Krishna's ultimate instruction: to surrender completely to the divine.
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज | अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यो मोక్షयिष्यामि मा शुचः ||66||
Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.
Transliteration
sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śharaṇaṁ vraja | ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣhayiṣhyāmi mā śhuchaḥ ||66||
Commentary
This is considered the ultimate instruction of the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna gives his final and most profound advice to Arjuna, urging complete surrender (sharanagati) to the Supreme. This verse assures that devotion and surrender to God is the highest path, absolving one from all sins and granting liberation.
