Final
release
comes
only
to
those
who
have
severed
all
bonds;
All
else
linger
in
this
impermanent
world.
The
abandonment
of
all
attachments
is
the
only
road
to
deliverance.
This
is
also
the
Gita
message.'But
his
longing
also
ceases,
who
sees
the
supreme"
–
(Gita
2,
59).
There
is
no
point
in
piecemeal
privation
of
penance.
Full
renunciation
of
all
attachment
and
desire
will
alone
help.
That is why it was said of yore in Tamil tradition
'Atradhu patrenil utradhu veedu'
May we remind ourselves again of Christ"s injunctions to the young man who wanted to be perfect?
'Go
and
sell
all
you
have,
give
to
the
poor
and
follow
me"
(Matt.
19:21)
