True renunciation can be attained by anyone - whether a millionaire, parent, student, politician, farmer or engineer. It's not what you have or don't have; it's your state of consciousness. In essence, it means that true peace that comes from true renunciation arrives when we understand that nothing is mine. Whatever intelligence I have, whatever abilities I have, whatever family members I have, whatever wealth or property I have, is the sacred property of God or the Divine.
Radhanath SwamiThe word surrender sounds horrible to one who wants to enjoy his senses but very sweet to one who has a humble heart.
Radhanath SwamiReal religion is about, developing real character; character of compassion, character of humility, the character of determination to grow in all circumstances.
