💡 Meaning

Therefore, Arjuna, listen; this is true renunciation, where the mind and intellect become detached from worldly objects.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar defines true renunciation (Sannyasa). He explains that real renunciation is not merely an external change but an internal state where the mind and intellect become detached from worldly desires and sensory objects. When the mind and intellect stop wandering in the external world and become 'strangers' to worldly attachments, one achieves the state of true Sannyasa. It is the pinnacle of mental stability where one is no longer affected by the dualities of the material world.

🎯 Practical Application

In daily life, practicing detachment means performing your duties without being overwhelmed by emotional highs and lows. For example, focusing on your work without being distracted by social media or the fear of failure is a form of mental renunciation.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar explains the true nature of renunciation to Arjuna, emphasizing internal detachment over external appearance.
