Sanyasa Yoga for Liberation

   Renunciation of all wordly Pleasures, all sensual enjoyments is called  Sanyasa (Renunciation) .

Sacrificing the wordly bondages (Son, Wife, House, Assets ) and maintaining the equanimity is called Sanyasa.

Asakthiramabhishwangam puthradhaara gruhadhishu
Nithyamhi Samachittathvam , Istanishtopapattishu (Kshetrakshetragna  vibhaga yoga)

"Asakhthi" means 'Disinterest' : Disinterest in all wordly bondages and equanimity towards desires and dislikes leads to the 'Sanyasa'.

This state of mind which carries dettachment towards all attachments is required to become a 'Sanyasi'.

This Sanyasa Sthithi is not that is to achieve .It can be attained only by continuous practice of selfless attitude towards things around you . One has to shun the ego. Selfless action is the simplest way for a beginner to practice dettachment towards the wordly bondages .Merely wearing Saffron robes doesn't mean 'Sanyasa'. Here , attitude is important and not the attire .

Selfless action means, sacrificing the results of the action. whatever action may we do, it's results either bad or good , shouldn't touch us.


when one is not conecerned about the results of the action, becomes free from the bondage of those actions. He who performs actions , dedicating them to the lord will never be touched by any Sin and remains like a water droplet on a lotus leaf.

This is the most important and simplest way to walk into the path of Sanyasa. 'Selfless action' prepares one's mind ready for 'renunciation of action'.


Renunciation of action cleans the Sins and purifies the mind.

One should mentally renounce the fruit of actions and wordly attachments , which delude anybody from the path of realisation.

He who does the prescribed work without caring for its fruit, is a Sannyasi as also a Yogi, and not he who is without the fire (Chaitanya) and without action.

Overcoming the dual nature of mind ,and renunciation of the fruit of actions converts an 'ordinary yogi' to a 'Sanyasi' : finally takes him to god's realisation and liberation of soul.

whichever path may one adopt to realise god, purity of Mind is the atmost primary requisite.
   
  "Kayena manasa buddhya kevalirindriyerapi
   yoginala karma kurvanthi sangamthyathvathma suddhayeth"

A yogi performs any action through the body, mind, intellect while giving off the attachment, just for the purification of the mind.


Only pure mind can realise the absolute pure mind, i.e the Supreme Mind, The Supreme Consciousness, The Supreme Knowledge, The Supreme Force, The Supreme Power of Attraction Surrounding the entire Universe.

A Sanyasi always orients his mind towards 'That', dedicates all his actions to 'That' feeling  'That' as  his lastresort (The Paramathman), the Ultimate Truth.

For a Sanyasi, renunciation of everything is a 'Tool for liberation'.

This theory of Sanyasa is very interesting to listen but tough to practice. Strongly determined Soul can alone adopt this path of renunciation (Sanyasa) for liberation.

This path to realise god is much easier than the other four ways i.e (Karma Yoga, Dhyana Yoga, Gnana Yoga and Bhakthi Yoga) to reach god, if practised with strong determination and faith in it.
