Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse 11

Krishna said
न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः।यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते ॥18.11॥

na hi dehabhṛtā śakyaṃ tyaktuṃ karmāṇyaśeṣataḥyastu karmaphalatyāgī sa tyāgītyabhidhīyate

Meaning

No one who has a body can give up action completely. So the one who gives up the fruits of action is the one called a true renouncer.

हिंदी में अर्थ

शरीर वाला कोई भी व्यक्ति कर्म को पूरी तरह नहीं छोड़ सकता। इसलिए जो कर्म के फल की चाह छोड़ देता है, वही सच्चा त्यागी कहलाता है।
