Particularly brilliant verse. When you dont even feel a moments wish for the good things of cyclic life, actually your free from attachments (renunciation). When your free from attachments, then your free from suffering because suffering is the result of attachment. The verse also points to the fact you can be in cyclic existence, but still have found renunciation. But if your still stuck in samsara, and your seeking renunciation, then really the closest you can get to it is by joining a monastery. No attachment to your appearance, your hair, making money, no attachments to family, no attachments to work...our monasteries are extremely important, and its sad the bans driving monasteries to divide and become weaker entities. “When you have meditated thus and felt not even a moment’s wish for the good things of cyclic life, and when you begin to think both night and day of achieving freedom, you have found renunciation.”
