Nirvana and Enlightenment #21

RENUNCIATION

For thousands of years people have renounced their worldly possessions, attempting to free themselves from the constraints of the material world in order that they may truly enter the Spiritual Path.

What are possessions?
Temporary physical objects--which, like human life, only
last as long as they last.

You can give them up if you want to.
But, does giving them up make you more holy?
NO.
Giving them up only makes you someone who has given them up.

NIRVANA does not come from releasing your hold on physical objects,
which simply go back into the energy circulation of the material world.

NIRVANA comes from not caring one way or the other about material possessions.
