The path of renunciation is the path of the razor’s edge. It is only for those fortunate seekers who are fully equipped with nonattachment and the knowledge of the Self.
These two principles—nonattachment and self-knowledge—are prerequisites on this path. Only those who have already burned their worldly desires, or are fully determined to burn them forever, should follow this path for it is never less than the path of fire. —Swami Rama, <i> Swami Rama of the Himalayas </i>
