Description

Acharya Prashant explains that a true renunciant and a yogi are one and the same. He clarifies that Shri Krishna defines a renunciant not as someone who merely abandons physical work or rituals, but as one who performs their duty while renouncing the fruits of their actions. A yogi is someone who is deeply connected to the present moment and the task at hand, thereby naturally renouncing the future. He emphasizes that duty is not a social obligation but an existential one—the duty to be what you truly are, which requires sacrificing the ego's attachments and desires for rewards. When one acts without seeking a reward, it is not a trade but a state of goodness and virtue.
