In plain words
A sannyāsī has no ties of any kind.
No one recognises the foundation of what is physical
I will give you a small example. When Burgula Ramakrishna Rao was Governor of Uttar Pradesh, some two hundred devotees set out with the intention of making a pilgrimage with Swami. Ramakrishna Rao was a great devotee, a man who knew twelve languages. His power of intellect was very great. He made up his mind that he must go to Badrinath and Kedarnath with God Himself, in person. Learning that Swami was going, a great many people came from many regions. Pure in heart, a holy couple, the two of them would first serve food to these two hundred and afterwards eat themselves. When everyone sat down to eat, they would pour out water from a jug. When the volunteers came and said, ‘Sir, we will do it, please sit down,’ he would say just one thing: ‘I am Swami's servant, not the Governor.’ When he was in Hyderabad, he was Chief Minister of the State. When Swami went to Mandapeta at that time, thousands stood in the queue. Each had to have darśan after the other. No one could delay even a moment. As at Tirupati, the volunteers keep hurrying people along, ‘Move on, move on.’ I am telling you this so that the children should understand what kind of heart he had. He went and stood in the queue. The DGP came. ‘You are the Chief Minister. You should not stand in the queue. Come to the front,’ he said. Then Ramakrishna Rao: ‘Politically I may be Chief Minister. But spiritually I am still only a devotee! I do not yet have so much Bhakti,’ he said. Such a great heart was Burgula Ramakrishna Rao's. I went and put up at Rishikesh. They put together a big guest house and some houses and made lodging arrangements for these two hundred people. That day the disciples of Swami Śivānanda came to the guest house and said, ‘Tomorrow Swami must come to Śivānanda's seventieth birthday celebration and inaugurate it.’ I said, ‘It is not Śivānanda's birthday, it is Kuppuswamy's birthday.’ Before he took sannyāsa under the name Śivānanda, his name was Kuppuswamy.
