Karma Yogah - But, O Arjuna, he who controls his senses by his mind and engages in Karma-yoga with the organs of action, without attachment, excels.
यस्त्विन्द्रियाणि मनसा नियम्यारभतेऽर्जुन |
कर्मेन्द्रियै: कर्मयोगमसक्त: स विशिष्यते ||7||

But, O Arjuna, he who controls his senses by his mind and engages in Karma-yoga with the organs of action, without attachment, excels.

  • Karmendriya: Organs of action.
  • Viśiṣyate: Excels or surpasses.
  • Yogam: Union or discipline.

True renunciation, Krishna teaches, lies in engaging the senses under disciplined mind control. By linking mental discipline with purposeful action, Krishna highlights the virtues of karma yoga over mere abstention.
