Ananta interprets the sage's advice on renunciation not as physical withdrawal, but as dropping mental interpretations and beliefs. He emphasizes replacing sensory attachment with virtues like forgiveness and simplicity while remaining open to the Self.

✦

Shun the lies that your mind is telling you about who you are.

Instead of trying to renounce anything in the world, it is much easier to renounce our belief about it.

Forgiveness, sincerity, kindness, simplicity, and truth: beautiful attitudes to take as long as you feel you have choice.
