Ananta emphasizes that true renunciation is the dropping of mental concepts and doership rather than the outward abandonment of material possessions. He explains that self-recognition and tranquility are found by remaining empty of all mental knowing.

✦

It is not about this outward renunciation... it is the dropping of the false conditioning.

Can we be empty of all mental knowing? That is the renunciation which is important.

The renunciation of worldly possession will not bring you the recognition of the self.
