(6) Total Renunciation of the Sense of Meum and Attachment with regard to all worldly objects and Activities

All worldly objects like wealth, house, clothes, etc., all relations like the wife, child, friends, etc., and all forms of enjoyment of this world and the next like honor, fame, prestige, etc., being transient and perishable, and regarding them as impermanent, the sense of meum and attachment with regard to them should be renounced. Similarly, having developed pure, exclusive Love for god alone, the embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, all sense of meum and attachment should be renounced for all work done through the mind, speech and body, and even for the body itself. This is the sixth type of renunciation. (The renunciation of thirst, as well as the renunciation of the desire for fruit, with regard to all objects and activities have been described above as the third and fifth types of renunciation, but even after such renunciation the sense of meum and attachment for them are left as residues; just as even though Bharata Muni through practices of Bhajana and meditation and cultivation of Satsanga, had renounced all thirst and desire for fruit with regard to all objects and activities, his sense of meum and attachment for the deer and protection of the deer remained. That is why renunciation of the sense of meum and attachment for all objects and activities has been described as the sixth type of renunciation)

Men, who reach the stage of this sixth form of renunciation, developing dispassion for all things of the world, get exclusive Love for God alone, the supreme embodiment of Love. Therefore, they retiring to a solitary place, like only to hear, and talk about, the stories of God's spotless Love, which reveal the virtues, glory and secrets of God, and reflect on the same, and practice Bhajana, meditation and study of the scriptures.  They develop a distance for wasting even a moment of their valuable time in the company of men attached to the world and indulging in laughter, luxury, carelessness, backbiting, enjoyments, and idle talks. They perform all their duties reflecting on God's Form and Name, only for God's sake, and without any worldly attachment.

Thus through renunciation of the sense of meum and attachment with regard to all objects and activities, development of pure Love for God alone, the embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss should be regarded as the mark of one who has attained ripeness in the second stage of Wisdom.
