For a moment when I say Sanyasi , "long tangled hair, bhasma splattered all over the body,set of rudrakashas and a saffron colored clothing draped around" OR "random person who became famous with their magical talents and luxuriously living with their curing hugs and business" any Indian would picture anyone of the two.
The thought of being a Sanyasi, laying everything down makes me faint and mad. I can survive a world without latest gadgets spend some good time understanding inner soul,butbeing detached from inner luxuries of my body is anything more to be asked for!
Is it going to be the financial independence ,that bring peace of mind and strength but I believe it's just not leaving all the luxuries behind,mere emotion and enthusiasm will not serve you much in the path of renunciation.Recently,My colleagues sister,young,smart and intelligent chose to be a Jain Saint. It was a mere shock for her family and of course me.
Is it that simple for a girl who lived a luxurious life to leave all this and get absorbed to the universal soul.
For a moment Am dumb stuck,May be the thought of a young child letting of their attachments or the though of how hard the process is going to be..
