(7) Total Renunciation of Subtle Desires and Egotism with regard to the World, the Body and all Actions.


All objects of the world being creations of Maya, are wholly transient, and one God alone the embodiment of Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss equally and completely pervades everywhere, this idea having been firmly established, all subtle desires with regard to objects of the world, including the body, and every form of activity have to be totally renounced In other word, there should be no pictures of them in the mind in the form of impressions. And due to total lack of identification with the body, there should be no trace of any sense of doer-ship with regard to all actions done through the mind, speech and body. This is the seventh type of renunciation. (Even when there is total negation of thirst of the desire for fruit, of the sense of meum and attachment with regard to all objects of the world and all forms of activity there remain subtle desire and feeling of doer-ship as residues. That is why renunciation of subtle desire and egotism has been described as the seventh type of renunciation.
(a)- In the person, who has reached the sixth stage of renunciation stated above, there may be now and then, some slight manifestation of attachment, when there is any special contact with objects of enjoyment; but in the person, who has reached the seventh stage of renunciation, there can be no attachment, even when there is contact with objects of enjoyment for in his conception, except God, no other object remains. That is why this renunciation has been described as Supreme Dispassion.
Non-infliction of suffering on any creature through mind, speech and the body).
This mental impulse of persons, who attain 'Supreme Dispassion' in the form of this seventh type of renunciation, get totally withdrawn from all objects of the world. If at any time any worldly impulse makes its appearance, the impression does not get firmly established, for exclusive and close union of such person with Vasudeva, the Paramatma the embodiment of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss, constantly remains intact.
Therefore, in his mind, all defects and vices having ceased to exist virtues like Ahimsa.

Truth (Statement of facts in sweet words, representing exactly what is realized by the mind and the senses), Non-stealing (Total lack of theft), Continence (Lack of eight forms of sexual enjoyment), Abstaining from vilification (not to make any demerging statement against anybody), Modesty, Un-haughtiness (Want of desire for reception, honor, public address etc.), Artlessness, Purity (Both external and internal purity, Truthful and pure means of earning gives purity to wealth; food obtained by that wealth imparts purity to food; proper behavior is purity of conduct; purification of the body through use of water, earth, etc., - all this is called external purity. Through destruction of modifications like attraction, repulsion, and deception, etc, when the mind becomes transparent and pure, it is called internal purity)
