Transliteration
śhubhāśhubha-phalair evaṁ mokṣhyase karma-bandhanaiḥ sannyāsa-yoga-yuktātmā vimukto mām upaiṣhyasi
In plain words
You are suffering because you are clinging—to how things should have turned out, to the result you earned, to the life you thought was yours. Krishna says: the chains around you are not made of failure or success, but of your grip on them. When you stop squeezing the outcome, your hands become free, your mind becomes clear, and you move toward peace.
Word by Word
When you cease to grasp at the fruits of your actions—neither clinging to success nor fleeing from failure—the knots of karma begin to dissolve like morning mist. This is sannyasa-yoga, the yoga of non-attachment: your mind becomes steady in devotion to the Divine, and bondage transforms into liberation.
The modern seeker need not renounce action itself, but rather the ego-driven hunger for results that chains the soul to the wheel of becoming.
