This is true Renunciation according to the Gītā (GI. 18. 2); and, one who performs all Actions, in this way, giving up ( samnyasya) the Hope for Fruit of Action, is a 'nitya-samnyāsın' (perpetual ascetic), (Gi. 5. 3). The Gītā does not approve of Renunciation in shape of the Abandonment of Action. It has been stated in various places before, that performing Actions in this way, is not obstructive of Release (GI. 2. 64; 3. 19; 4. 23; 5. 12; 6. 1; 8. 7); and, the same thing has been repeated here in the 28th stanza.

To proceed: it has been stated in the beginning of this chapter that the Path of Devotion is pleasant and easy. The Blessed Lord now describes the other great special quality of that Path, namely, Equability, as follows:-)
(29) I am the same towards all created beings; to Me (there) is not (some one, who is) dvesya (that is, un-liked), nor (some one, who is) priya (that is, dear). But, those who worship Me with devotion, I am embodied in them, and they are embodied in Me. (30) Be he a great evil-doer, yet, if he worships Me with the faith that there is no one else, then he must be considered a saint; because, the determination of
