Loftiness of the Impulse to Renounce



"There are three lines along which endeavour has to be directed:

(1) Spiritual exercises and discipline
(2) Cultivation of detachment
(3) Development of confidence in one's self.

Without these three, life is a wearisome and wasteful journey.  Give up, renounce - that is the virtue you need for spiritual progress.  It is not the value of the thing given up that counts, it is the loftiness of the impulse behind the act."


~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
