Know yoga to be that which they call renounciation; No one become a yogi who has not renounced Thoughts.\u00a0 In this teaching, Lord Krishna clarifies that a true yogi and a true sannyasi is not one who renounces outer action or outer sacrifice. Rather, it is one who continues to act, but performs action as an offering, as a sacrifice.<\/p>\n When Krishna says that yoga is what is called renunciation, this renunciation is not about stopping action. It is about a deeper inner renunciation. Action must continue, but the inner relationship to action must be transformed.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”\ud83d\udd38 2. Renunciation of Thoughts \u2014 What Does It Mean?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”] Krishna says: \u201cNo one becomes a yogi who has not renounced thoughts.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n This does not mean that yoga is the absence of thinking or simply sitting with a blank mind. Yoga is not about not thinking. It is about the nature and direction of thinking.<\/p>\n The mind continues to think, but the stream of thought becomes focused, intentional, and directed toward God \u2014 toward the reality behind all appearances. Thought is not eliminated, but refined and reoriented toward truth.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”\ud83d\udd38 3. Questioning All That Appears Obvious” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] The thoughts that must be renounced are all the beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions that we take to be obvious.<\/p>\n What we consider to be reality \u2014 the body, the mind, the experiences \u2014 must be investigated deeply. Through inquiry, the yogi begins to see that what was previously taken as real is not the ultimate reality.<\/p>\n This requires a complete willingness to examine everything and to let go of previous notions when truth is revealed. Without this process of deep investigation and renunciation of false understanding, one cannot become a yogi.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”\ud83d\udd384. The Obstacle of Doership and Expectation” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”] Swami Sivananda explains that one cannot become a yogi while holding on to the idea: \u201cI am the doer and I am the enjoyer of the fruits of action.\u201d<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n As long as there is planning, expectation, and attachment to results, the mind will remain unsteady. The thought of the fruits of action creates agitation and prevents inner stillness.<\/p>\n Even in spiritual practice, if one thinks, \u201cI will practice and I will become something,\u201d this very idea becomes an obstacle. The yogi must go beyond this fundamental identification.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”\ud83d\udd38 5. From Doer to Witness \u2014 The Bridge to Meditation” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”] Karma Yoga becomes the preparation for meditation when the practitioner begins to step back and observe.<\/p>\n While actions continue, the yogi observes the actions, the thoughts, and the experiences, recognizing: \u201cI am not the doer, I am the witness.\u201d<\/p>\n Even thoughts and emotions are seen as arising without clear control or understanding of their origin. This creates a natural detachment.<\/p>\n This witnessing attitude is the beginning of meditation. Action is not renounced, but attachment is. Through this shift, Karma Yoga becomes the doorway to Dhyana Yoga.<\/p>\n .<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/onlined.sivananda.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/unnamed-14-scaled.png” title_text=”unnamed (14)” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] \u201cAll these obvious thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions must be investigated and let go.
