"Renunciation doesn't mean changing the color of our skin, putting on robes or wearing make-up. Everybody, each human being, needs renunciation. Does that mean giving something up? Yes, it does--we all have to give up something--but what it is that we have to abandon is an individual decision; each of us has to check up for ourselves what extreme thoughts come into our mind and once we have determined what they are we should deal with them in an easy-going way. That's the way to renounce...deal with extreme emotions in an easy-going way."
