Karma Sannyasa Yogah - One established in yoga, who has conquered the mind and senses, and views all beings with equanimity, remains untainted even while performing actions.
योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रिय: |
सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते ||7||

One established in yoga, who has conquered the mind and senses, and views all beings with equanimity, remains untainted even while performing actions.

  • Vishuddhatma: A pure-hearted or purified soul.
  • Jitendriyah: One who has conquered the senses.

By highlighting mastery over mind and senses, Krishna illustrates a practical ideal in karma yoga. The true yogi, rooted in equanimity, remains unaffected by actions, reflecting the Gita’s teaching that duty performed without attachment leads to liberation.
