Bhagavad Gita 18.11

BG 18.11 — Chapter 18 (The Yoga of Liberation and Renunciation), Verse 11, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

न हि देहभृता शक्यं त्यक्तुं कर्माण्यशेषतः | यस्तु कर्मफलत्यागी स त्यागीत्यभिधीयते ||१८-११||

🕉

na hi dehabhṛtā śakyaṃ tyaktuṃ karmāṇyaśeṣataḥ . yastu karmaphalatyāgī sa tyāgītyabhidhīyate ||18-11||

Roman: na hi dehabhrta shakyam tyaktum karmanyasheshatah . yastu karmaphalatyagi sa tyagityabhidhiyate

Verily, it is not possible for an embodied being to abandon actions entirely; but he who relinishes the rewards of actions is verily called a man of renunciation.
