Spirit of Renunciation

Where you find the attraction for lust and wealth considerably diminished, to whatever creed he may belong, know that his inner spirit is awakening. 
The door of Self-realisation has surely opened for him. 

On the contrary if you observe a thousand outward rules and quote a thousand scriptural texts, still, if it has not brought the spirit of renunciation in you, know that your life is in vain. 

                - Swami Vivekananda, 
                   Conversations and Dialogues, 
                    recorded by Sharat Chandra Chakravarty
