“You
can only renounce what you already have. It is not possible to give up
something you don’t have. Renunciation needs to be truthful; otherwise,
when you are facing the ocean you may look back and see that you still
want to be a river. You don’t want to give up certain things because you
are stuck in your need to be recognized and loved. You don’t want to
give up your story, your name or your body. This process brings you to
the source of the inner split where there are two opposing forces acting
inside of you. It is precisely this tug-of-war that causes suffering.”
Sri Prem Baba
