Gita 5.3

ज्ञेयः, सः, नित्यसंन्यासी, यः, न, द्वेष्टि, न, काङ्क्षति,

Gita 5.3

GyeyH, saH, nityasannyaasi, yaH, na, dweshti, na, kaankshati,
NirdwandwH, hi, mahabaaho, sukham’, bandhaat’, prmuchyate ||3||

Translation: (Mahabaaho) O Arjun! (yaH) a devotee who (na) neither (dweshti) hates anyone (na) nor (kaankshati) desires (saH) that Tatvdarshi (nityasannyaasi) because a person who possesses love-hatred, his mind keeps wandering, and the mind of a devotee devoid of these is engrossed only in God’s adoration and praise even while doing work, therefore he is always a Sanyasi only (hi) because only that person (bandhaat’) from bondage of action (sukham’) of happiness of complete liberation (gyeyH) knowledge worthy to be known (nirdwandwH) with full certainty (prmuchyate) freely describes correctly in different ways. (3)

Gita 5.3: O Arjun! A devotee who neither hates nor desires for anyone, that Tatvdarshi, because a person who possesses love-hatred, his mind keeps wandering and the mind of a devotee devoid of these is engrossed in adoration and praise of God even while doing work, therefore, he is always a Sanyasi. Because only that person freely describes correctly the knowledge worthy of being known of the happiness of complete liberation from the bondage of actions with full certainty.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 Verse 3

Meaning: In this Gita verse 5.3, there is a description of a Karmyogi who performs scripture-based sadhna that, a devout bhakt, whether he possesses children or not, or lives in a monastery and is engrossed in the service of Satguru and the congregation, who is always free from love-hatred, only he is a Sanyasi (an ascetic) in reality. He only then freely delivers the knowledge of true sadhna with full certainty to other devotees who are opposed to the scriptures.
