Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.
Radhanath SwamiThe essence of Hinduism is the same essence of all true religions: Bhakti or pure love for God and genuine compassion for all beings.
Radhanath SwamiSome husbands think, "This is my wife," or a parent thinks "This is my child." From a spiritual perspective, this is a misconception. The higher truth is: "This wife is God's beloved daughter, entrusted in my care. And the way I serve God is by giving her respect, protection, appreciation and empowerment. This is what God wants me to give his child."
