Renunciation

Our goal is to reach the Divine, to experience His presence, to realize Him and to attain Him. But, at many points of time this seems tough. This is an effect of our attachment(s). Here comes the time to bring renunciation into our lives. Renunciation, as per general belief forces one out of his or her house into a lonely forest or uphill. But, renunciation is far more than it. In fact, spirituality never forces anyone for anything. I really don't wanna criticize those who renounced their homes in past. And who am I to do so? But I just wanna tell that it is not always the same that the spiritual seeker needs to go out wandering in bushes in search of peace as it always reside inside us alone.
I mean to say that renunciation is more mental less physical. We need to detach ourselves from the things which have taken over us. We just need to overcome our weaknesses. We just have to raise the capability to picture ourselves without the things or person without whom we don't expect an easy life.
However, it is very difficult to attain but possible and important. In ancient times sages used to leave their homes and family behind as this makes the practice of renunciation a bit easier. But anything easily attained is vulnerable.
Another thing is that when someone takes the taste of sweets he forgets the sweetness of tea. This is the reason why in Gita it is told to fix the mind on the Lord as He is far more blissful than any other attachment of this mortal world.
