As against this, a person who performs actions by Buddhi Yog, being aware that all the fruits of actions such as success, failure, gain, loss, joy and sorrow belong to God, will not be attached to the results. He will be able to break free from the chain that gives rise to desire, anger, delusion, confusion of memory and the loss of intellect. His intellect will then become steady and he will be freed from sorrow, old age and death which will give way to eternal peace and happiness.
A person does not have to change his lifestyle and actions or abstain from enjoying any sense objects to practice Buddhi Yog. He continues to perform all his usual actions and enjoy all the sense objects as usual. What he has to change is his thoughts with a firmness of intellect, and believe that the results or fruits of actions are of God and God is enjoying the sense objects. This will steady his intellect and give him eternal peace and happiness.
Renouncing the fruit, the Buddhi Yuktas [those united to God/wisdom by intellect] are liberated from the bonds of birth and reach the state beyond sorrow. Chapter 2:51
He who is Yukta [united to God/wisdom] having abandoned the fruits of action, attains eternal peace, whereas the Ayukta [not united to God/wisdom], impelled by desire and attached to fruits, is bound. Chapter 5:12
