Verse 18.11

न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः।यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते।।18.11।।

na hi deha-bhṛitā śhakyaṁ tyaktuṁ karmāṇy aśheṣhataḥ yas tu karma-phala-tyāgī sa tyāgīty abhidhīyate

Meaning

No cap, a human can't, like, totally stop doing stuff. But if you're not all about the rewards, then you're a total renouncer.

Commentary

Bro, even if you're, like, totally embodied, you can't, like, *totally* ditch actions. It's not possible. But if you're all, 'Whatever happens, happens,' about the results? Then, yeah, you're a total renouncer. It's like, fire is hot, right? You can't, like, un-hot fire. As long as you're in this body, you're gonna do stuff. Krishna's saying, no one can totally chill on actions. Your nature's gonna make you do stuff. So, ditch the 'I'm in control' thing and the whole 'gotta get the rewards' thing. Then you're good. No action will trip you up. If you're all, 'I am my body, and I do everything,' then you can't ditch actions. You gotta do your duties, but don't sweat the results. If you're doing that, you're a 'renouncer,' even if you're still doing stuff. It's an honorary title. Only someone who's, like, totally self-realized can ditch *all* actions. They're not even tripping about being in a body.
