Keyword_search: renunciation, pragmatic, seeing, right thinking Question_content: Questioner: This is a comment about that because I thought a lot about this, about being able to stop. And I got a lot of help from the concept of it being an opportunity to practice renunciation, but not renunciation in that terrible sackcloth, and ashes, and… Larry: Good. I understand. Questioner: Nails. It wasn't that. It was a simple phrase in a book. Renunciation is simply giving up what's extra. And the deeper I go into it; the more things are extra. But in the beginning, it was just an opportunity to give up, to give what was extra. Larry: The years have made me pragmatic. Does that help you? Questioner: Yeah Larry: I'm all for it. Whatever helps you. Eventually you won't need it. The seeing itself is enough. But to begin with, we do need intelligent thought. Right thinking. We do need help there. So that's good. Yeah.
