“Sri Yukteswar used to poke gentle fun at the commonly inadequate conceptions of renunciation."A beggar cannot renounce wealth," Master would say. "If a man laments: 'My business has failed; my wife has left me; I will renounce all and enter a monastery,' to what worldly sacrifice is he referring? He did not renounce wealth and love; they renounced him!"Saints like Gandhi, on the other hand, have made not only tangible material sacrifices, but also the more difficult renunciation of selfish motive and private goal, merging their inmost being in the stream of humanity as a whole.” IfsMenMadeWholeHandsUsedHumanityLeftFunDifficultGoalWealthWifeSacrificeMaterialsMastersAnd LoveSaintMy WifeSelfishGentleMotiveStreamsConceptionWorldlyTangibleBeggarInadequateRenounceReferringRenunciationLamentPokeMonasteriesMergingSelfish Motives Book:Autobiography of a Yogi Source: Autobiography of a Yogi

And then, struck by celestial music and made gentle, they approach their former altars all together, hear about the works of peace, and hold a great celebration of peace with fervent tears before the smoking altars.” MadeTogetherNationsBloodTearsApproachEuropeMadnessCirclesFormerGentleStreamsSmokingCelebrationAltarsCelestialFervent Author:Novalis
