Acharya Prashant explains that knowledge is the key to understanding renunciation as a celebration. He states that it is not the object of attachment that matters, but rather the idea one has of that object. We do not truly know ourselves or the objects around us; instead, we substitute ideas for the Truth that we inherently need. Therefore, the suffering in renunciation does not lie in giving up the object itself, but in giving up the idea of the object. To illustrate this, he gives an example: if you are attached to a person and lose your memory of them, the attachment disappears even though the person still exists. This demonstrates that the attachment was never to the person but to the idea or story associated with them. Vedanta is described as a destroyer of such ideas, revealing their origin and reality. When the idea is gone, the attachment vanishes, even if the object remains. The attachment was never truly with the object. In ordinary life, one story is simply replaced by another. Vedanta, however, goes to the root of storytelling itself by exposing the storyteller—the mind. The mind is a great storyteller that constantly weaves narratives to avoid the Truth. When these narratives are gone, attachment is gone, and renunciation becomes a celebration because one is dropping misery, not something precious. Right knowledge, specifically the knowledge of the knower, is what can save you. He further clarifies with an analogy: if you forget you have a confirmed first-class train ticket and instead clutch a lowly, unconfirmed one, you would drop the lesser ticket in celebration upon being reminded of the better one you possess. This is renunciation. Vedanta is the process of realizing you already have what is magnificent; you have just forgotten. This forgetfulness is called Maya. Maya is feeling you lack what you already have and valuing the unimportant. Therefore, with right knowledge, dropping the false becomes easy, and renunciation becomes a celebration.
