अध्याय 5, श्लोक 1,

अर्जुन उवाच -
सन्न्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि ।
यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम् ॥

भावार्थ :
अर्जुन ने कहा :
हे कृष्ण! आप कर्मों के संन्न्यास (त्याग) की बात करते हैं, किन्तु फिर साथ ही योग की भी प्रशंसा कर रहे हैं ।  इन दोनों में से कौन सा एक दूसरे की अपेक्षा अधिक श्रेयस्कर है, इस बारे में मुझसे सुनिश्चित रूप से कहें ।

Chapter 5, śloka 1,

arjuna uvāca -
sannyāsaṃ karmaṇāṃ kṛṣṇa
punaryogaṃ ca śaṃsasi |
yacchreya etayorekaṃ
tanme brūhi suniścitam ||
--
(sannyāsam karmaṇām kṛṣṇa
punaḥ yogam ca śaṃsasi |
yat-śreyaḥ etayoḥ ekaṃ
tat me brūhi suniścitam ||)
--
Meaning :
arjuna said : O  kṛṣṇa!  You speak of  Renunciation (saṃnnyāsa) of action (karma), and at the same time You  praise yoga also! Please tell me with certainty, which of the two is superior.
--
Note :
In this and following śloka of this Chapter 5, the meaning and essence of Renunciation is explained. The Renunciation could be either at the formal level when one renounces the possession of things, but does not give up the idea that the action happens because of the three attributes (guṇa) of prakṛti  and one is always free and unaffected from all action (karma) and the notion of "I do  / I don't do" are but illusion only, Or at a deeper level of understanding this truth.
