Educational Q&A
Renunciation becomes spiritually effective when joined with liberating knowledge: by overcoming attachment to dualities (dvandvas) and piercing the darkness of ignorance, one transcends fear of death and decay and attains the supreme goal (paramā gati).
Vāyu (the Wind-god) is speaking, describing the fruit of true saṃnyāsa: the knowledgeable renunciant rises beyond worldly oppositions and reaches the highest state, emphasizing inner transformation over mere external withdrawal.
