I have God in my life and I have all that I need, I shall want nothing!!!! Give away everything that binds you to ignorance and suffering. It's the thirst and desire that puts us on endless cycle of grasping and keeps us unsatisfied. It's attachment to sensual pleasure that is the hindrance. Let go of all the temporary distractions. Love God and If you have that love for God which brings actual perception of Him, you do not need actual renunciation. It becomes automatic, all lesser desires and attachments fall away.
The selfish man is not a man of God, because he is always thinking of the desires of the ego apart from God. Renunciation is the means by which God can be known. When you are in love with God, there is no pain in parting with anything else. Renunciation is wisdom that encourages you to give up a lesser happiness for a greater happiness. When love for God is there, you happily give up worldly possessions, there is no need to go to the forest to remember God. You gladly do without anything even by staying at home or everything for love of God. Renunciation means removing everything in your life which is not absolutely necessary, so as to not form and be enslaved by selfish attachments to material things.
This allows you to focus on what is important, the spiritual path, and to not be distracted by the things which do not really matter and that will not provide you with true, lasting satisfaction!
