न च संन्यसनादेव सिद्धिं समधिगच्छति ॥३- ४॥

A man does not attain exemption from action by not commencing action.
Nor even by renunciation is success acquired.

One does not attain freedom from the bondage of Karma by merely abstaining from work. No one attains perfection by merely giving up work.
Not by merely abstaining from work can one achieve freedom from reaction, nor by renunciation alone can one attain perfection.
