Karmaphala Sannyasa is detachment from and abandonment of the fruits of action. The phrase is derived from the Sanskrit words karma (action), phala (fruit) and sannyasa (renunciation). The fruits of actions may be ishta (pleasant), anishta (unpleasant), or misra (mixed). The Bhagavad Gita uses both karmphala tyaga and karma sannyasa (IV.11-13) to mean performance of action without the desire for the fruits of work and without attachment. One who does the prescribed work, renouncing the fruit, is also known as karmaphala tyagi (renouncer of the fruits of action). According to Kaivalya Upanishad, immortality is attained neither by work nor by progeny, but by renunciation. In Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the true knowers of atman renounce the desire for progeny, wealth, and worlds, and wander about as mendicants. The expression karmaphala sannyasa is a call for pure action. Action is pure when it is free from ego-sense and performed without attachment, affection or disregard and not be

A jivanmukta is one who has realized one’s true nature, Brahman, and lives in the body but is free from all bonds, sense-cravings, and has a clear understanding of the truth. Such a person has risen above the plane of gains or losses. So long as the effect of actions of such person, done before realising Brahman, produce their effects, the body of the jivanmukta remains. It is like a potter’s wheel that will stop revolving only when the momentum it has received has worn itself out. The dissolution of the physical frame will take place only when the prarabdha karma that has given rise to this body has been exhausted. Even a few words of the jivanmukta produce a tremendous impression on the listeners. A jivanmukta is not miserable, is not anxious over the past and the future, and remains calm regardless of what is happening in the present. Such a person always remains unattached to the material world due to the awareness that this gross body is perishable, and such a person does not
