Automatically, your potential will take a jump. You are ready to do anything. Although you live in it, nothing in the material world really pulls you. Even if you see something beautiful, you don't wish to possess it. You just enjoy it and move on. That's all. That is sannyas. Sannyas works like the log of wood that is used to burn the dead body and finally gets thrown into the same pyre. It burns out all the fantasies in you and finally gives itself to the same fire. It is a tool. Adi Shankara beautifully says in his famous song, Bhaja Govindam* : Even when days and nights, winters and springs have gone, and life almost comes to an end, the grip of desire is still there! Desire has such a pull at the unconscious level that liberating oneself from it is the greatest liberation.
