Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha

Giving up is not a big deal. I give up on multi storied office building . I give up on private jets. I give up what I like but not attainable. I give up on my dreams, what’s the point?

Point here is to “learn to live without & not get addicted”.

Here addiction usually refers to sensory addiction.

Some people who go to sabarimala generally give up on smoking and drinking for 48 days

The next day they come back from mountain they re-attach the bad qualities

The idea of fasting is to understand if we can be without for 48 days we can be without it for lifetime

Unfortunately common people don’t understand this

பிடிச்சதை பிடிக்காமல் விடுவதற்கு பதிலாக விடாமலே இருக்கலாம்

நம்மை நாமே ஏமாற்றி கொள்ளும் வேலை.

கண்ணன் திருவடியை உறுதியாக பற்றுகிரோமா என்பதற்கு உலக விஷயத்தில் வைராக்கியம் தேவை

Thanks, again, Swamy, for those inputs. I was keen to know if this age – old practice has its roots in Shastram.
