Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2.48

yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi

sańgaḿ tyaktvā dhanañjaya

siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā

samatvaḿ yoga ucyate

Translation

Perform your duty equipoised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga.

Author Name:-Sri Ramanuja

Purport

Sri Ramanuja

2.48 Abandoning the attachment to kingdom, relatives etc., and established in Yoga, engage in war and such other activities. Perform these with equanimity as regards success and failure resulting from victory etc., which are inherent in them. This equanimity with regard to success and failure is called here by the term Yoga, in the expression ‘established in Yoga.’ Yoga is equanimity of mind which takes the form of evenness in success and failure. Sri Krsna explains why this is repeatedly said:

2.48 If action is not to be undertaken by one who is under the impulsion of the fruits of action, how then are they to be undertaken? This is being stated: Yogasthah, by becoming established in Yoga; O Dhanajaya, kuru, undertake; karmani, actions, for the sake of God alone; even there, tyaktva, casting off; sangam, attachment, in the form, ‘God will be pleased with me.’ [‘Undertake work for pleasing God, but not for propitiating Him to become favourable towards yourself.’] Undertake actions bhutva, remaining; samah, equipoised; siddhi-asidhyoh, in success and failure — even in the success characterized by the attainment of Knowledge that arises from the purification of the mind when one performs actions without hankering for the results, and in the failure that arises from its opposite. [Ignorance, arising from the impurity of the mind.] What is that Yoga with regard to being established in which it is said, ‘undertake’? This indeed is that: the samatvam, equanimity in success and failure; ucyate, is called; yogah, Yoga.

The previous verse 47 is further clarified here. Yoga, equanimity is the methodology encouraged. Relinquishing desire and attachment to the rewards of actions while steadfastly remaining equipoised in either success or failure. This verily is what is meant by equanimity.

Now begins the summation.

The meaning of the word sangam is attachment. Attachment to what? The rewards of one’s fruitive actions.
