The term "Tyaga" (abandonment) is interpreted differently by different people. Some believe it means giving up all actions because they are all tainted by evil. However, others argue that not all actions should be given up.
They believe that acts of sacrifice, charity, and austerity, which were discussed in the previous chapter, should not be abandoned. Lord Krishna continues to explain the concept of "Tyaga" to Arjuna from his own perspective.
It's important for a teacher to provide clear guidance to the student so that the student can engage in the world without doubts. In the Upanishads, a student would have already renounced worldly engagements before seeking a teacher.
However, Arjuna is still on the battlefield. Therefore, Lord Krishna emphasizes, "Listen to my firm conclusion about this. There are three kinds of 'Tyaga'."
