Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 Verse 2

Gita 6.2

यम्, सन्यासम्, इति, प्राहुः, योगम्, तम्, विद्धि पाण्डव,
न, हि, असन्यस्तसङ्कल्पः, योगी, भवति, कश्चन।।2।।


Gita 6.2

Yam’, sannyaasam’, iti, praahuH, yogam’, tam’, viddhi, Pandav,
Na, hi, asannyastsankalpH, yogi, bhavti, kashchan ||2||

Translation: (Pandav) O Arjun! (yam’) that which (sannyaasam’) Sanyas (iti) as (praahuH) is called (tam’) that (yogam’) yog of bhakti and knowledge (viddhi) know (hi) because (asannyastsankalpH) who does not give up desires (kashchan) anyone (yogi) yogi (na) not (bhavti) is. (2)

Gita 6.2: O Arjun! Know that yog of bhakti and knowledge which is called as Sanyas because anyone who does not give up desires is not a yogi.

Garib, ek naari tyaag deenhi, paanch naari gael be |
Paaya na dwaara mukti ka, sukhdev kari bahu sael be ||

The meaning is that you take Sanyas after abandoning one wife, but five defects (sex, anger, greed, attachment, arrogance) –like wives are still with you i.e. desires are still present; abandon these, then you will become a Sanyasi. Like, Sukhdev Ji wandered a lot after becoming a Sanyasi but did not give up pride and self-praise, as a result of which remained unsuccessful.
