Jeevan mukta is a person who has clarity about the goal and pours his consciousness only on that goal every moment of life.
If the purpose of life itself is enlightenment, where are we stuck right now? In what areas of our lives are we moving in the wrong direction? Understand that the problem is in recognizing the correct goal. If the goal is right, you have achieved it. If your goal is right, it means you are…

Whatever goal you may be running behind in your life – money or relationship or whatever, your end goal is only bliss
The very goal of life is enlightenment. You may have other goals, but knowingly or unknowingly, they are just different names that we give to the goal of enlightenment. In the same way, whatever else you may seek, what you actually seek is sannyas itself. But you don’t know it. That is the problem! You…

Sannyas is taking a strong decision not to allow the unconscious to hinder the consciousness and to establish consciousness firmly on the master and his words
Integrating the mind is the essence of life. Decide you will always say and do only what you feel is right. Then, you will come to tremendous clarity and conviction in the inner and outer worlds. Vivekananda recounts in his life that his master, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, died leaving him the responsibility of the mission. At…

The scale to measure the quality of a person’s life is to see how much he lived in tune with what he felt was life!
See, there are three things: Thinking the Truth, Speaking the Truth, Living the Truth. The first two are easy to follow. But the third, living the Truth all the time, is difficult. It is very rare. Sannyas is the courage to live what we think is the Truth. We give importance to speaking the Truth.…

If you study the lives of great masters and try to search for one basic essence in all of their lives is that they were ready to lose even their very lives, but not their integrity!
The word ‘penance’ means nothing but integrating yourself, making yourself a single entity. You may ask, ‘Are we not like that now?’ If you look closely, you will see that we exist as different entities, never as one. There is everything else in our life, except integration. If you look deeply inside, you will understand,…

What is the role of the master in sannyas?
Mahavir Jain was a great Jain master who compiled the teachings of Jainism known as the Jain Sutras. The verse begins, ‘namo arihantana’. ’Namo arihantana’ means, ‘I bow in reverence to the arihantas who achieved the highest truths.’ He is talking about the great enlightened masters. These masters not only achieve, but they radiate the truths…

Sannyas is what softens you into real love, love towards not just one person but towards the whole of Existence.
Sannyas is about seeing the wonderful co-existence of everything in Existence. Sannyas is existing in relationships like a water drop on the lotus leaf. If you see the lotus leaf, the water droplet will be on the leaf but will be untouched by it. Sannyas is living in relationships while being untouched by them. A…

In the path of sannyas, your intelligence wins over your prarabdha and brings it to control and exhaust it !
Samsar literally means the ‘world’ or the ‘path’. It refers to the worldly life that causes endless cycles of birth and death. There are two ways to move in any path: either with baggage and people or by yourself. In the first case, you may have to wait for a longer time. In the second…

Turn your awareness from the seen to the seer, you will wake up and start experiencing the causeless bliss that is in you all the time!
Sannyas is not a game of one world against another, of material versus spiritual. First thing you need to understand is there are no two worlds like material and spiritual. There is only one world. Second thing is sannyas is not a doctrine. It is a certain attitude of living in the world without suffering.…

Renouncing is ‘having’ without the idea of having, and ‘parting’ without the idea of parting!
Sannyas has always been wrongly associated with renunciation. You don’t have to renounce anything. You just need to understand that you are a temporary custodian of some wealth, which is a part of Existence, just as you are as well. Then you won’t need to renounce because you never possessed anything in the first place!…

The first conscious step towards responsibility towards oneself and to the world is Sannyas
The river heads only towards the sea. It does not stagnate anywhere. A sannyasi heads only towards his goal of enlightenment. He knows no distractions. The river flows blissfully, whatever be the things thrown into it on its way. So many things are thrown into the river – flowers, twigs, food, animals, birds, dead bodies,…

Renunciation is not running away from life, it is flowing with life without resistance!
Our ability to be in tune with others and Existence depends entirely upon how we conduct ourselves. It depends on the priorities we choose in life. What if we do not choose? What if we accept things as they happen to us? It is time to talk about renunciation. Renunciation is not running away from…
