Is there any such verse in Gita?

[The Crimson Universe]

... that says something like
"be in this world but not of this world"?

Or

..."one should live like a householder on the outside, but should renounce the world on the inside (i.e. renunciation should happen in the heart even while operating in this world like a family man)?

 

[shivsomashekhar]

No.

But it is possible that some commentaries may use these words.

"be in this world but not of this world"?

Or

"Be in the world but not of the world" is in the Bible. I have no idea about the Gita.

 

[stvdv]

"Be in the world but not of the world" is in the Bible. I have no idea about the Gita.

That was the main teaching of Krishna to Arjuna

Do your duty
(be in the world as a warrior)
If needed kill even family on the battlefield
Don't run away from it; be not attached (of the world)

 

[The Crimson Universe]

"Be in the world but not of the world" is in the Bible. I have no idea about the Gita.

Can you please quote the Biblical verse here that says that.
Thank you. :=)

 

[Viraja]

... that says something like
"be in this world but not of this world"?

Or

..."one should live like a householder on the outside, but should renounce the world on the inside (i.e. renunciation should happen in the heart even while operating in this world like a family man)?

I do not know about Gita.

But nevertheless, I'm given to wondering aloud this is indeed the gist of spiritual Hindu thinking and teaching of any great text, be it Shaivism or Vaishnavam.

Also, these quotes imply karma-yoga and jnana-yoga, to put in a nutshell.

Karma Yoga: To renounce all the fruits of one's deeds.

Jnana yoga: An advanced form of karma yoga, this implies renouncing the fruits of all deeds and all attachments therefrom, applying the neti-neti logic. (not this, not this).

*My understanding.

Thanks and regards.

 

[Aupmanyav]

There are many such verses, for example 2.48 which ask you to do your duty but remain unattached:

"yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi, saṅgaṁ tyaktvā dhanañ-jaya;
siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā, samatvaṁ yoga ucyate."

"Perform your duty equipoised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga."
