Karma Yoga is Karma Sanyasa 1-9 

1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 4

 Ramanuja & Sishyas

Yada hi na indriya artheshu na karmasu anushajjate I

Sarva sankalpa sanyasi yogarudhah tada uchyate II sloka 4

Then alone is one said to have attained yoga when having renounced all sankalpas, one does not get attached to sense objects and actions.

 Yogarudha  is one who has attained the acme of yoga. Human perfection reaches its zenith in him. Deep dhyana  or the meditation of the yogi develops into samadhi or enlightenment. In this state, the external world is no more for him. There is no mentation in him to manipulate the senses. As in sound sleep, so in this self sufficiency and beatitude of samadhi the obligatory duties even get suspended. Freed from sankalpa,  his mind is calm like an ocean without waves. In this plenitude of bliss the thoughts of this world and of any others likely to come, are all blotted out. The eternal presence alone is.

Desires and doings are all born of sankalpa - Manu II-2

O deire, I know wherefrom you tak your origin. You are bon of sankalpa. I shall refuse to make sankalpa of you. Annihilation then is your lot.                                                             Santi Parva 177-25

The brilliant presence of Iswara cannot be perceived in that mental firmament which is disturbed by the gale of desires

 Then what  the sadhaka should do comes in the  next sloka
