    Prem means love, and tyagi means
    renunciation. Tyagi means one who has
    renounced -- love and renunciation.

    I make a special condition for renunciation --
    and that is love. A man can renounce out of
    anger, a man can renounce out of hatred, a
    man can renounce out of frustration... but then
    it is meaningless. Unless you renounce out of
    love, renunciation is of no use.

    If you renounce, and there is no love in your
    renunciation, it is a struggle. If there is love, it is
    a surrender.

    The old renunciation used to be out of hatred
    for the world. The old renunciation was anti-life,
    negative. I teach a positive renunciation, a life-
    affirmative renunciation, a life-enhancing
    renunciation. So your renunciation is going to
    be a profound yes to life.

    Certainly when you say yes to life or yes to
    God, many things start dropping on their own
    accord. Not that you really renounce them; they
    simply become irrelevant. So never renounce a
    thing unless it has become irrelevant. What I am
    saying is, never renounce a thing as an effort,
    as a struggle; don't use your will to renounce
    anything. Just be in a let-go.

    The old renunciation was a sort of a price that
    one had to pay for God. It was a bargain. You
    had to renounce the world if you wanted to
    enter the kingdom of God. It was a price to be
    paid.

    But to me, God is not for sale, and there is no
    price to be paid. God is not a commodity...
