Acharya Prashant explains that dispassion and renunciation are essentially the same phenomenon, viewed from different perspectives. Dispassion is the internal quality of no longer finding value in worldly objects, while renunciation is the affirmative expression of those objects falling away. He clarifies that renunciation is not an active, forceful deed but a non-action or an exercise in negation. Because the nature of the self and the nature of worldly objects are fundamentally different, they do not naturally belong together. It takes a great deal of effort and energy, known as passion, to keep them joined. Dispassion is simply the cessation of this unnatural effort.
