II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आइकें योगी आणि सन्यासी जनीं I ऐकचि सिनाने झणें मानीं I एऱ्हवीं विचारिजती जंव दोन्ही I तंव एकचि ते II 39 II
सांडिजे दुजया नामाचा आभासु I तरी योगु तोचि सन्यासु I पाहतां ब्रम्हीं नाहीं अवकाशु I दोहींमाजीं II 40 II
जैसे नामाचेनि अनारिसेपणें I एका पुरुषातें बोलावणें I कां दोहीं मार्गीं जाणें I एकाचि ठाया II 41 II
ना तरी एकचि उदक सहजें I परि सिनाना घटीं भरिजे I तैसें भिन्नत्व जाणिजे I योगसन्यासांचें II 42 II
आइकें सकळ संमतें जगीं I अर्जुना गा तोचि योगी I जो अर्में करूनि रागी I नोहेचि फळीं II 43 II
जैसी मही हे उद्भिजें I जनी अहंबुद्धीवीण I सहजें I आणि तेथींचीं तियें बीजें I अपेक्षीना II 44 II
तैसा अन्वयाचेनि आधारें I जातीचेनि अनुकारें I जें जेणें अवसरें I करणें पावे II 45 II
ते तैसेचिं उचित करी I परी साटोपु नोहे शरीरीं I आणि बुद्धिही करोनि फळेवरीं I जायेचिना II 46 II
ऐसा तोचि सन्यासी I पार्था गा परियेसीं I तोचि भरंवसेनिसीं I योगीश्वरु II 47 II
वांचूनि उचित कर्म प्रासंगिक I तयातें म्हणे हें सांडावें बद्धक I तरी टांकोटांकीं आणिक एक I मांडिची तो II 48 II
जैसा क्षाळूनियां लेपु एकु I सवेंचि लाविजे आणिकु I तैसेनि आग्रहाचा पाइकु I विचंबे वायां II 49 II
गृहस्थाश्रमाचें वोझें I कपाळीं आधिंचि आहे सहजें I कीं तेंचि संन्यासें वाढविजे I सरिसें पुढती II 50 II
म्हणूनि अग्निसेवा न सांडितां I कर्माची रेखा नोलांडितां I आहे योगसुख स्वभावता I आपणपांचि II 51 II

"Lord Krishna said, Karma Yogi (someone who performs actions with detachment, focusing on duty and selfless service rather than the results) and Sanyasi, the person detached from worldly attachments are the same. Beyond their duality of names, Yog is Sanyas itself. And principally there is no difference between them either. In practice just like we call the same person by different names or different paths lead to the same destination; or just like water remains same even though it is filled in different vessels, similarly Yog and Sanyas are, different only in names, but same in their essence. Arjun, said Lord Krishna, in the truer sense Yogi is a person who understands that actions are an inevitable part of life and focuses on performing them with dedication and a sense of duty, rather than being driven by the desire for specific outcomes.
Just like plants and trees originate from the earth, yet earth doesn't claim their harvest. Everyone has a unique role or duty based on their nature and qualities, which is their Sva-dharma. The one who performs these duties with dedication and focus, not out of attachment to the outcomes, but as a form of service or offering to the all encompassing Supreme should be called a Sanyasi in the truer sense, and such a person is a Great Yogi too.
On the other hand those who do not understand the true meaning of Sanyasi and instead pursue it as a ritual, do their karma one after the other just like anointing the body immediately after the previous layer has been washed off, fail in its very purpose. Living in the world itself is no small ordeal, then why should one burden himself additionally with Sanyas? And therefore Karma Yog is best suited because it attains balance between rituals involving fire as well as following the prescribed duties diligently."
