Renunciation Quote by Osho

“Try to understand this rightly. When the powerful renounce, they let go of things that they feel to be worthless, of no value. The weak also renounce, but they renounce whatsoever they feel to be more powerful than themselves. ~ Flight of the Alone to the Alone: Talks on the Kaivalya Upanishad” quote by Osho
