15 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan about renunciation

    Renunciation & acquisition are both at the gross level, while being irritated and having love [for someone] are at the subtle level. The two cannot be equated with each other, so why are you doing that? These two have nothing to do with each other.

    The penance and renunciation that one is told to do is actually under the authority of the non-Self (parsatta). So how can that happen? Penance-renunciation, it is all a resultant effect of the non-Self (parparinaam). It is neither an effect of the Self (Swaparinaam) nor is it independent (swadhin).

    As long as one does not have Knowledge of the Self, his renunciation (tyaag) will give result. And after attaining the Knowledge of the Self, there is no renunciation; there is only a vow (vrat). A vow is that which prevails on its own.

    The only difference between a Gnani and a renunciate is that the Gnani prevails in a state of saiyam (absence of anger-pride-deceit-greed and attachment-abhorrence), whereas a renunciate follows a set discipline. No one besides a Gnani can remain in saiyam.
