In English
People have no dearth of food, raiment, and shelter. Then what is the reason for their restlessness? It is only excessive desires that make them restless. Therefore, put a ceiling on desires. Less luggage, more comfort makes travel a pleasure . Life is a long journey. In this long journey of life, do not have excess luggage. This, in Vedantic parlance, is called renunciation ( ). You have been reading about renunciation for a long time. You have been listening to many discourses. But how much have you been able to practise? If you question yourself, you will find that you have not moved even a single step forward; you are where you were. In spite of listening to and reading Vedantic texts, in spite of chanting ( ) and meditation, in spite of knowledge of sacred texts, your position is the same as it was.
