Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` Renunciation is always in the mind, not in going to forests or solitary places, or giving up one¹s duties. The main thing is to see that the mind does not turn outward but inward. It does not really rest with a man whether he goes to this place or that or whether he gives up his duties or not. All these events happen according to destiny. All the activities that the body is to go through are determined when it first comes into existence. It does not rest with you to accept or reject them. The only freedom you have is to turn your mind inward and renounce activities there. - Sri Ramana Maharshi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` " Be As You Are " The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi edited by David Godman Arkana, 1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
