renunciation are relative; they are worldly or temporary efforts, and in the relative world, no one has the power to do anything 'We are disclosing to you the ultimate and the final reality and that is: 'Whether you do chanting or penance, whether you renounce or become an ascetic, whatever you do, you are merely a top i.e. spinning toy. As long as you have not attained the realization of the Self, everything you do is really the doing of the prakruti, which is why you are nothing but a top!'

if this home were to burn down, 'we' would not be affected. Everything is natural.

The Lord has said that even if a person does not have Gnan, but has awareness, it too would suffice. However, He has not said that it is acceptable for one not to have awareness. The penance with Gnan only occurs after one attains the awareness of the Self. The Lord has forbidden us to become 'abnormal'in making an effort, but he has also forbidden the abnormality of not making the effort! He has said for us to come into normality in all different aspects. Anything done in abnormality, the Lord has called it Vishay; worldly obsession.
Nature ie prakruti makes you do penance and renunciation but you believe, 'I am doing penance. All these penance and
