Control Over Kashaya is Referred to as Saiyam
This renunciation (tyaga) is renunciation of things, renunciation of money, renunciation of sex. We cannot say no to that, but that is referred to as renunciation. Even the state of a renunciate is good, but such a person cannot be referred to as saiyami. For a saiyami, people will say that, “This person is saiyami.” Do people not have the understanding of the meaning of saiyam? It is not the saiyam that the Lord has spoken of. These people who renounce cannot be referred to as saiyami, they are referred to as renunciates (tyagi). The only difference between a Gnani and a renunciate is that a Gnani is saiyami and a renunicate adheres to discipline (niyami). Aside from the Gnani, there is no saiyam. And they are something else, they are referred to as renunciates. Renunciates are those who adhereto discipline (niyamdhari), and the Gnani is the one who remains in saiyam (saiyamdhari). No one else besides a Gnani can be referred to as saiyamdhari.
