The 𑌭𑌗𑌵𑌾𑌨𑍍 said: One who is unattached to the fruits of his work and who works as he is obligated is in the renounced order of life, and he is the true mystic, not he who lights no fire and performs no duty, i.e., who still lives in the material world, but behaves like a 𑌸𑌨𑍍𑌨𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌸𑍀, who gives up all actions.

What is called 𑌸𑌨𑍍𑌨𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌸𑌮𑍍 or renunciation you should know to be the same as 𑌯𑍋𑌗 or 𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌮𑌯𑍋𑌗 (doing action without attached to results). O son of Pāṇḍu, for one can never become a yogī unless he renounces the desire for sense gratification.

For one who is a beginner or just started in the eightfold yoga system, work is said to be the means; and for one who is already elevated in yoga, stopping of all material activities is said to be the means. This means that as one keeps doing action without being interested in the results, he realizes that the eventual goal is not do any action itself and stops getting involved in work.

Translation
To practice yoga, one should go to a secluded place and should lay kuśa grass on the ground and then cover it with a deerskin and a soft cloth. The seat should be neither too high nor too low and should be situated in a sacred place. The yogī should then sit on it very firmly and practice yoga to purify the heart by controlling his mind, senses and activities and fixing the mind on one point.

Translation
In the stage of perfection called trance, or samādhi, one’s mind is completely restrained from material mental activities by practice of yoga. This perfection is characterized by one’s ability to see the Self by the pure mind and to relish and rejoice in the Self. In that joyous state, one is situated in boundless transcendental happiness, realized through transcendental senses. Established thus, one never departs from the truth, and upon gaining this he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty. This indeed is actual freedom from all miseries arising from material contact.
