Do you think that if a sannyasi(physical) who break his leg ( or got a

severe injury on his body) will be calm as if nothing happened.

If one person is a true (physical)sannyasi he shouldn't have a single

possession including his own body.

 

So if a sannyasi renounced everything except his body, he should first

take mental renounciation towards his own body. So practicing mental

renunciation towards our possessions is a first and foremost thing for

everyone ( person who took physical sannyasa or who lead samsara).

 

Let us concentrate on mental renunciation to get rid of ignorance.
