In this talk, Swamiji explains that true renunciation is an inner process undertaken by the mind, intelligence, and ego. The seeker recognizes that the body is inert, while the inner presence is distinct from the body, and that mind, intelligence, and ego are functional expressions of consciousness. The five koshas—annamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya, and anandamaya—are the fields of activity, while the ‘I’ transcends them and remains untouched by action.

Through this knowledge, the wise person understands, “I do nothing,” even while the senses engage with their respective objects. Mentally renouncing all actions, one remains established in the inner presence and experiences stillness and fullness.

Swamiji emphasizes that the Self neither acts nor causes action, nor is it affected by virtue or sin. Therefore, one must delve within and discover the unchanging presence, remaining untouched by the activities of the personality.
