Renunciation is not about pushing something away, it is about letting go. It's facing the fact that certain things cause us pain, and they cause other people pain. Renunciation is a commitment to let go of things that create suffering. It is the intention to stop hurting ourselves and others.
Noah Levine
Image
Renunciation is submission to time.
Simone Weil
Image
That parrot's non-co-operation with the cage, with its master, will live for ever because it looks upon renunciation, non-co-operation, as a joy.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Socialism is the renunciation of rational economy.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
It would not be going too far to assert that ... conflict confronts every woman who ventures upon a career of her own and who is ... unwilling to pay for her daring with the renunciation of her femininity.

Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
Billy Graham

Both renunciation of action and the performance of action lead to Nirvana (Liberation) but these performance of action is superior to renunciation of action. The action of today becomes the destiny of tomorrow.
Chinmayananda Saraswati

It is a grave misconception to regard the mystical progress as passing mostly through ecstasies and raptures. On the contrary, it passes just as much through broken hearts and bruised emotions, through painful sacrifices and melancholy renunciations.
Paul Brunton

Many a time comes when we want to interpret our weakness and cowardice as forgiveness and renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Assess the work of whatever others do to you or say about you, and cultivate fortitude and the understanding to appreciate their behaviour and pardon their faults. This capacity is as invaluable as truth, righteousness, wisdom, non-violence, renunciation, delight and compassion. It is all that one need possess for spiritual advancement.
Sathya Sai Baba
Image
I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Image
His retreat into himself is not a final renunciation of the world, but a search for quietude, where alone it is possible for him to make his contribution to the life of the community.
Carl Jung
Image
Self-love is the first teacher of self-renunciation.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
The highest and greatest goal that every soul has to reach is God. As everything needs renunciation, that highest goal needs the highest renunciation.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
Truth, purity, self-control, firmness, fearlessness, humility, unity, peace, and renunciation - these are the inherent qualities of a civil resister.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Renunciation is the central sun, round which devotion, knowledge and the rest revolve like planets.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
The reward of renunciation is some good greater than the thing renounced. To renounce with no vision of such a good, from fear or in automatic obedience to a formula, is to weaken the springs of life, and to diminish the soul's resistance to this world.
Hugh Kingsmill
Image
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Renunciation-is a piercing Virtue-The letting go A Presence-for an Expectation-.
Emily Dickinson
Image
Always remember that renunciation is the root idea. Unless one is initiated into this idea, not even Brahma and the World - gods have the power to attain Mukti
