Translation: (YaH) A worshipper who (karmfalam’) fruits of actions (anaashritH) without depending upon (kaaryam’) worthy of being done according to the injunctions of the scriptures (karm) acts of bhakti (karoti) performs (saH) that (sannyasi) Sanyasi i.e. a person who has abandoned acts of worship which are opposed to the scriptures (ch) and (yogi) is a yogi i.e. a bhakt (ch) and (niragniH) free from desire (na) is not (ch) and only (akriyaH) who shows off by sitting in one place in a special posture and abandons all activities (na) is not. (1)
Gita 6.1: A worshipper, who without depending upon the fruits of actions performs acts of bhakti worthy of being done according to the injunctions of the scriptures, he is a Sanyasi i.e. a person who has abandoned ways of worship opposite to the scriptures and is a yogi/ a bhakt. And one who is not free from desire and who shows off by sitting in one place in a special posture and abandons all activities is not a yogi.
It means that one who shows off by practising Hathyog, who has defects in mind and appears inactive from outside – is neither a Sanyasi, nor a Karmyogi i.e. a bhakt.
