“Dhyāna Yoga needs the support of Karma Yoga! That is why Karma Yoga had to be taught first. Arjuna! He who does the karma of duty, giving up the fruit, is most dear to Me. Such a one alone is the true sannyāsi. Not those who give up the sacred fires, abandon work and toil, eat and sleep like utter idlers, crave the objects of the senses, and have become brothers of Kumbhakarṇa: they are never dear to Me. I am very far from idlers. He who has not renounced saṅkalpas cannot become a yogi, however many sādhanas he may do. He who is not caught in sense objects such as sound, nor in the fruits of karmas, can become one who has renounced all attachment. Only through such niṣkāma karmas can Dhyāna Yoga be accomplished. The citta that does not obey becomes one's own worst enemy. So become one who has conquered the senses. Live in solitude. Bring the citta and the senses under control. A horse without a bridle, an ox that will not let the yoke be put on, and a sādhana that cannot bring the senses under control are like a river without water: purposeless karmas.”
