The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna gives the ultimate instruction—the most famous verse of the Gita. 'Sarvadharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja'—having abandoned (parityajya) all dharmas (sarva-dharmān), take refuge (śaraṇam vraja) in Me alone (mām ekam). 'Ahaṁ tvāṁ sarvapāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ'—I (aham) will liberate (mokṣayiṣyāmi) you (tvām) from all sins (sarva-pāpebhyaḥ). Do not grieve (mā śucaḥ). This is the ultimate teaching: abandon all dharmas (all duties, all paths, all methods) and take complete refuge in Krishna alone. When you do this, He will liberate you from all sins. This doesn't mean abandoning your duties in action—it means abandoning attachment to dharmas and taking refuge in the Supreme. This is the path of complete surrender: abandon all dharmas as refuge, take refuge in Krishna alone, and He will liberate you. Do not grieve—this is the assurance.
