Jnana Karma Sannyasa Yoga: The Yoga of Renunciation of Action through Knowledge

In this chapter, Bhagavan Krishna explains the reason and nature of His descent. He reveals a secret about action and inaction, which even a lot of learned do not have a correct understanding about. He details why the actions of the wise do not bind them and asks Arjuna to follow the path of the predecessor.

He also explains several sacrifices and regards the sacrifice of knowledge as the highest of them all. Krishna talks about gurus and the attitude one must hold to attain knowledge from a guru.

Chapter four ends with Krishna glorifying the transcendental knowledge and asking Arjuna to attain it.
