TRUE RENUNCIATION IS

TURNING YOUR MIND TOWARDS GOD!

 

Mankind has forgotten the

ability to perform penance. When you let your vision roam

in the temporary and transient world, your spiritual path

spirals downward into inertia and stasis. When you

concentrate your vision and your awareness on the

permanent God, then you are practicing penance and your

spiritual progress leaps ahead. If a door is locked and

you want to open it, you must put the key inside the lock and

turn it towards the right. Then it will open, but if you

turn the key to the left, the lock remains closed. It is

the same lock and the same key. The difference is in the

way you turn the key.

 

Your heart is that lock and your

mind the key. If you turn your mind towards God, you get

liberation. If you turn it towards the objective world,

you remain in bondage. It is the same mind that is

responsible for both liberation and bondage.

 

True renunciation is turning

your mind towards God. It means constantly bringing your

mind back from other thoughts to dwell on the permanent

entity. Such mental detachmetnt and sacrifice must be

developed into a very intense feeling. You should not keep

on postponing the practice to the next day, and then the

day following that and so on.

 

The Lord's journey cannot be

postponed or canceled. You must must always be ready to

accept whatever comes your way.
