	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		Vairāgya translates to 'renunciation'. In order to make spiritual progress, one needs to detach himself from this material world with full knowledge of renunciation, not just for show. It has been stated in the Bhagavad-gītā that the more one hears about Kṛṣṇa, the more one becomes enlightened and detached from everything that draws the mind away from Kṛṣṇa. By detaching the mind from activities not devoted to the Lord, one can very easily learn vairāgya. Thus, vairāgya also means detachment from matter and sense gratification, and engagement of the mind in spirit.

All of these great sages became great devotees, for without devotional service to the Personality of Godhead one cannot achieve success in any activity of spiritual value.

If an unfit person sentimentally accepts vairāgya or takes sannyāsa but at the same time remains attached to women, he is in a very dangerous position. His renunciation is called markaṭa-vairāgya, or renunciation like that of a monkey. '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā 2.120)'''}}

In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, devotional service is discussed to arouse the living entity to the transcendental position of jñāna (knowledge) and vairāgya (renunciation). '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 19.17)'''}}

They are practically disgusted with material pleasure from material sources, and this has resulted in a population of hippies throughout the Western countries. Now if these young people are instructed about bhakti-yoga, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the instructions will certainly be effective. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.16.26)'''}}

'''(~~REFERENCE~~)'''}}		{{VaniQuotebox\|One understands his constitutional position by knowledge and vairagya, renunciation\|One understands his constitutional position by knowledge and vairāgya, renunciation.
