In the usual sense, renunciation is giving up a householder’s life and becoming a monk or a hermit. But renunciation actually means giving up the attachment to material objects and worldly plights with the understanding that attachment is bondage, detachment is freedom. Renunciation includes dispassion, and intelligent living with the means that are available without attaching and clinging to things passionately. It can be done no matter in which station of life a person exists – bachelor, householder or a hermit.
