taṁ vidyād duḥkha-sanyoga-viyogaṁ yogasaṅjñitam

English translation:

“Sri Krishna tells Arjuna to know the state that causes separation from the union of sorrow and that is called “yoga”. This should be practiced with firm determination and a mind that is not disheartened.”

He explains that yoga is not limited to the actions of the body, but it is that mental and spiritual state in which a person attains detachment from the sorrows of his life. Here "Dukhsanyog" means the sorrows and sufferings in life, the only way to escape from which is the practice of yoga.
