sannyasin

It's most vividly illustrated perhaps in the traditional Indian idea that, having raised a family and discharged your duty to society in this way, you should abandon your home and devote yourself to meditation or pilgrimage, become a wandering 'sannyasin'.

Just because one may not be living as a renunciate sannyasin, it doesn't mean that one is not expected to be a full-bodied expression of faith or even have the capacity to become a deeply realized God-man or God-woman.

The solution is not to renounce all possessions and live like a wandering sannyasin.
