Sometimes we contemplate giving up

Sometimes we contemplate giving up. We try to quit. Sometimes the way we work, or do things doesn’t produce the desired and predicted results. Its not about whether we’re good enough. It's about feeling determined, content and happy in whatever situation you are in, whatever God gives you, you choose to stay cheerful. Realise it serves a purpose. Remind yourself why you are here, why you are doing and what you are getting out of it. Remember, if you love God, you work to make it an offering to God, not to earn anything out of it. The sages define renunciation, Sanyasa, as abstaining from any work with a personal motive.‪ The wise define sacrifice or Tyaga as giving up attachment to the fruits of all work. Renunciation is to be practiced not towards work or the world but to the attachment to the fruits of all works. A true renunciant works for others and lives for others. Tyaga means renunciation of attachment to the fruits of all work, or working just for God. A person who does sacrificial service, Seva to God is called Tyagi or a KarmaYogi. According to Bhagwat Geeta, Renunciation of attachment to sensual pleasures is the real sacrifice, Tyaga. The perfection of Tyaga comes only after a person becomes free from the clutches of attachments and aversions. Selfish attachment to the fruit must be first given up before giving up all attachments. There is no eye better than the eye of Self-knowledge, no austerity better than truth, no pain greater than attachment, and no pleasure greater than Tyaga. One cannot become happy with­out Tyaga, one cannot become fearless without Tyaga, and one cannot attain God without Tyaga. Bhagwat Gita recommends renunciation while living in the world, not renunciation of the world as commonly misinterpreted. Lord Rama gave up His kingdom and even His wife for the establishment of righteousness, Dharma. Give up attachment and attain perfection by renunciation is the message of the Vedas and the Upanishads. A person who is Tyagi cannot com­mit sin and is released from the cycles of transmigration. One can cross the ocean of transmigration and reach the shores of salvation in this very life by Tyaga! Hari Om Tat Sat Namah Shivaya !!
