Chapter 9 • Verse 28

The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Krishna reveals the result of offering everything: 'Śubhāśubha-phalair evaṁ mokṣyase karma-bandhanaiḥ'—thus (evam), you will be freed (mokṣyase) from the bonds of karma (karma-bandhanaiḥ), from the fruits of good and evil actions (śubhāśubha-phalaiḥ). 'Sannyāsa-yoga-yuktātmā vimukto mām upaiṣyasi'—with your mind fixed in the yoga of renunciation (sannyāsa-yoga-yuktātmā), liberated (vimuktaḥ), you will attain (upaiṣyasi) Me (mām). This is the result of offering everything: you're freed from karma's bondage. When you offer everything to the Supreme, you're not bound by the results—good or bad. Your mind is fixed in renunciation—renouncing attachment to results. You become liberated—free from karma's bondage. You attain the Supreme—you come to Him. This is the path of liberation through offering: offer everything, renounce attachment to results, become free, attain the Supreme.
