Chapter 18 verse 7
“Prescribed duties should never be renounced. Such deluded renunciation is said to be in the mode of ignorance.”
There
are several people in India who give up a tough life and become a renunciate.
More often than not, they become fringe elements in society, drug addicts and
drag on the resources of the society as glorified beggars and parasites. This
is not the concept of renunciation prescribed by Bhagwan. There is a reason why
each of us souls has been provided the life we have been given. To act
diligently our prescribed duties and exhaust our vasanas and develop invaluable
learning of the eternal aspects of love, compassion, charity, penance, truth
and non-violence etc. Renouncing prescribed duties just because it is hard is
the highest form of ignorance.
