Vyāsa

Educational Q&A

Renunciant discipline must be internalized through practice and then lived out; for spiritual attainment (siddhi), the sannyāsin should observe the dharma of renunciation in solitude, without relying on companions.

Vyāsa continues instructing the listener on the rules and ethos of saṃnyāsa: first to practice and embody the teaching, and then to pursue the renunciant path alone as a means to spiritual accomplishment.
