TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: The giving up of activities that are based on material desire is what great learned men call the renounced order of life [sannyāsa]. And giving up the results of all activities is what the wise call renunciation [tyāga].

La Suprema Personalidad de Dios dijo: El abandono de las actividades que se basan en el deseo material es lo que los grandes eruditos llaman la orden de vida de renuncia [sannyāsa]. Y renunciar a los resultados de todas las actividades es lo que los sabios llaman renunciación [tyāga].

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

The performance of activities for results has to be given up. This is the instruction of Bhagavad-gītā. But activities leading to advanced spiritual knowledge are not to be given up. This will be made clear in the next verses. In the Vedic literature there are many prescriptions of methods for performing sacriﬁce for some particular purpose. There are certain sacriﬁces to perform to attain a good son or to attain elevation to the higher planets, but sacriﬁces prompted by desires should be stopped. However, sacriﬁce for the puriﬁcation of one’s heart or for advancement in the spiritual science should not be given up.
