He, who has merely withdrawn from possessions, cannot be regarded as to have renounced the world. He, however, who remains in contact with the world, but sees its faults, may be said to have truly renounced the world. Such a man becomes freed from all evil passions and his soul is dependent on nothing.
विप्रयोगे न तु त्यागी दोषदर्शी समागमे। विरागं भजते जन्तुर्निवैरो निरवग्रहः॥
