Verse 12
The Yoga of Renunciation
The steadily devoted soul attains unadulterated peace because he offers the result of all activities to Me; whereas a person who is not in union with the Divine, who is greedy for the fruits of his labor, becomes entangled.
Context & Meaning
The yogi, by surrendering the fruits of all actions, attains lasting peace. The non-yogi, driven by desire and clinging to results, binds himself ever more tightly.
