Guest guest Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Work is the mission of every individual. Renunciation and doing work are not contradictory - they are complementary. By giving up work, you will decline, without the progress derived from activity and the training achieved through it. A real sanyasi (monk) is one who does not desire one thing or hate another. The word sanyasa (renunciation) when applied to work means to do your role without regard for success or failure, profit or loss, honor or dishonor... and perform each activity as an offering to the Lord. Without work, you will get lost in the darkness of ignorance and be overwhelmed by inertia, dullness! So, better than giving up your work, renounce the fruits of the actions. It yields greater joy and that is the best path! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
