One needs to be a Jivanmukta to be a pure Jnani, everything else including Sanyas is really 'Aspiring', although through politeness we give them a full title.

Going into a cave physically is not really Sanyas; Sanyas is giving up of all desires and attachments..............ONS..Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
