20 RENUNCIATION
Voluntary association with anything except the Soul (Atma), becomes instrumental in disturbing the Spiritual progress (Sadhana) of an aspirant (Sadhaka). Non-association with such objects, with this clear conviction, is called renunciation (Tyaga or Tyaga-Dharma).
In worldly dealings, worthy persons do not only shun the use of things belonging to others, but even give up the belief of their own ownership of objects such as cloths, house, money, furniture and so on. Similarly in the spiritual world, Sandaka who desires liberation, gives up entire attachment to all worldly things including his body. This is the mode of evolution
