FAQs
A jñāna-saṃnyāsī is one whose renunciation is grounded in wisdom: freed from attachments, beyond dualistic reactions, fearless, and established in the Self.
It implies not being psychologically driven by opposites such as pleasure/pain, gain/loss, praise/blame—maintaining inner steadiness regardless of circumstances.
It emphasizes inner freedom: detachment from all situations, fearlessness, and stable self-abidance as the hallmark of true renunciation.
