Sannyasa Sukta Translation
One can achieve immortality in association with the Lord, not by ones
own pious deeds, nor by the pious deeds of one’s sons, nor by the accumulation
of wealth, but only by renunciation of all enjoyment for oneself and offering
everything to the Supreme Lord. This state of perfection, which is attained
by the real sannyasis, is situated far beyond this world, and is difficult
to reach for the ordinary man.
Those sannyasis, having realized the actual conclusion of the Vedas,
having given up personal sense enjoyment for engagement in the Lord's service,
and being completely free of the influence of the material modes, at the
end of their lives become freed from the material world and enter that
Vaikuntha realm.
There is a lotus situated within the body, in the middle of the heart,
a place free from all suffering. It is the spiritual sky, free from all
material contamination and lamentation. There resides the object of our
worship.
He who is glorified at the beginning of the Vedas, and is firmly established
at the end of the Vedas, who resides beyond the material sphere, who is
second to none, He is the Supreme. (Maha-narayanopanisad 4.12)
