In the Bhagavad Gita 'Karma Yoga' (discipline of action), 'Jnana Yoga' (discipline of knowledge) and 'Bhakti Yoga', (devotion to God), these three ways to reach the highest goal of life are discussed in detail from the second chapter to the seventeen chapter. Chapter eighteen gives the essence of all discussions. Some very significant words are used in the Gita - 'Sannyasa' 'Tyaga' 'Action' and 'Inaction' etc. Now we shall see the exact meaning of these words per the Gita.
Sannyasa: Some men of wisdom declare that Sannyasa means giving up all actions prompted by desire to gain and get rid of the unfavourable.
Tyaga: Some learned people declare that the atonement of the fruits of all actions is Tyaga (relinquishment).
