The purification leading to renunciation that involves selfless action amounts to indirect spiritual culture culminating in the resolve for spiritual life. One who does not undergo this purification, yet attempts to renounce the world for a life of contemplation, is involved in false renunciation.
Renunciation is a status from which one can directly culture internal spiritual life.
Selfless action is the subject of the third chapter of Bhagavad-gita, whereas renunciation of the action leading to purification is discussed in chapter five. All of this has its application in devotional life. As purification develops, one can successfully engage in concentrating the mind on Krsna for long periods of time and enter a renounced life of reflection and meditation. It is also false renunciation to renounce that which is favorable for Krsna's service, genuine renunciation involves renouncing that which is unfavorable to the culture of devotional life. One who can renounce everything unfavorable to devotional culture has true standing in a life involving the utilization of so-called worldly things in Krsna's service.
