Renunciation alone, what benefit will it give us? Simply by fasting will we get the mercy of Krishna? Simply by giving up the world? No.By embracing devotional service to Krishna, that is how we will get the mercy of Krishna. But when in the course of that service there is so much to renounce. Within the course of devotional service to Krishna we have to give up so many things but not seperate
renunciation. It is not that he who eats less than everyone else, he who sleeps less than anyone else will he please Krishna the most? No. The devotee who is “Preaching my glories” Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita “ He is most dear to me” YES!
Glorifying Krishna that remains the activity that attains the most mercy of Krishna.
