  • Often, we make resolutions on New Year's Day to follow certain disciplines or practices in life, but we tend to give up within a few days or weeks. The reason behind this is that we lack conviction, or our habits are too strong to break. 
  • Renunciation is a lifelong practice of dispassion, which is enhanced by Self-knowledge. 
  • Karma Yoga, by itself, does not provide knowledge but prepares one for it. The purity gained through Karma Yoga helps one to gain mastery over the mind and senses, and through knowledge, one can achieve the vision of Oneness. 
  • A person with Self-knowledge remains unaffected even when working in the world like any other person.
