The real meaning of renunciation in devotion || On Bhakti Sutra (2015)

तस्मिन्ननन्यता तद्विरोधिषूदासीनता च

~ नारद भक्ति सूत्र: ९

In the Lord whole-hearted, single-minded devotion and all else that are contrary to it, complete indifference.

This is the nature of renunciation.

~ Narad Bhakti Sutra: 9

Questioner: How is this sutra relevant in daily life?

Acharya Prashant: The man whose mind is centered and devoted, walks, moves, and eats being with the One, to whom he is devoted.

He might be walking on the earth, he might be living amongst men, but it is obvious that his Heart is somewhere else. The mind will never really know in terms of particulars and specifics where his Heart is, but one thing that the mind will surely know is, that he does not belong here.
