Janaka: neither renounce nor accept
1:16|scripture+teaching
Happiness is, Geneca is talking now, he says, the tranquil state of knowing self alone is rare, even among those who own battle line cloth, I therefore neither renounce, nor accept, and I am happy. So what do you think? He is saying that he has had the experience of meeting many sadhus, yogis, and they have renounced everything material, and they won't just to line cloth, and yet they have not come to this recognition of the self, come to this liberation of which comes with tranquility, silence, end of suffering, so it is not about this outward renunciation. I therefore neither renounce, nor accept, and I am happy. So you will drop the concept itself. The moment one is just dropping every concept, concept to do a ship, where we are doing what we are doing.
