There are two different things: one is the subjective renunciation, and the other is objective renunciation. If an object, an outside thing, cause pain, naturally you want to renounce it. But subjective renunciation is the natural outcome of a raised consciousness. The true renunciation arises only through Meditation. Meditation is the only way to expand your consciousness. Meditation is the fuel with which the light of inner consciousness can burn brighter and sharper.
