Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "The word Sanyaasa has three parts. Sam, Ni and Asa. Among these, Asa is the key part. Asa means to be, to remain. Sam Ni Asa means, to remain well. In other words, to remain unattached, to give up. What should be given up? We should give up that which we are holding. We should give up with the help of the same instrument with which we are holding it. The connection between man and the world is woven by the mind. Therefore we should use the same instrument - mind - to get detached from the world."
