Chapter - 18 MOKSHA SANYASA YOGA
This chapter is the summary of all that is said in prev - ious 17 chapters. Throughout previous chapters two terms | are used often. They are "Sanyas" and "Tyaga", the English
version of them would be “Renunciation" and "Abandonment"|| So Arjuna wants to know what they exactly mean and what is distinction between the two. The Lord explains that "Sanyas" without “Tyaga” is only an empty show and explains how this is so.

॥ श्रीभगवानुवाच ।। काम्यानां कर्मणा न्यासं संन्यासं कवयो विदुः । सर्वकर्मफलत्यागं प्राहुस्त्यागं विचक्षणाः ॥ २ ।।
