Sannyas is the understanding of the transient nature of everything

All desires, possessions, and emotions are moving and changing. Everything is changing and moving. Nothing is permanent.

If there is implicit openness and innocence the learning can be received from the Avatar who imparts learning every moment

Adi Shankara sings beautifully in the verses Bhaja Govindam: Within the potter’s wheel’s rotation, The pivot stands still, amidst constant motion, So too a man of perfection is poised, although engaged in action.

Actions of an Incarnation, enlightened master can never be without awareness and compassion as HE is in one with Existence!

If a person has committed ten murders, the quantity of murders will not be recorded. But the intensity of the murderer will be recorded.
