Sanyasa is not for everyone. Many fail in the sanyashrama. Even Arjuna tried sanyasa for a short time and gave up soon 🙂 I remember reading an article written by one of the south indian swamijis who used to write motivational ideas – he said that there are more sanyasis in Tiruvannamalai nowadays – these are not the ones who really wanted to follow that ashrama – these are the ones who are using this to run away from problem. That swamiji used to say “face the problems with courage and dont hide behind sanyasa” – forgot the name of the swamiji.
Our Periyava’s explanation is simple and powerful. Following our svadharma is the most important thing.
Periyava sharanam
