Chapter 5 · The Yoga of Renunciation · Krishna said

Bhagavad Gita 5.3 — The true renunciate

ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति। निर्द्वन्द्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ॥

jñeyaḥ sa nityasaṃnyāsī yo na dveṣṭi na kāṅkṣati | nirdvandvo hi mahābāho sukhaṃ bandhātpramucyate ||

Meaning

One who neither hates nor craves should be known as a true renunciate at all times. Free from pairs of opposites like pleasure and pain, such a person is easily released from bondage.
