Renouncing the material world, full of wealth and prosperity, at the peak of youth is a significant act, and this quality was present in Vardhaman Kumar. But if we delve a little deeper, the renunciation becomes a small matter compared to the fire that blazed in Lord Mahavir's heart. He had no strong reason to leave the kingdom and set out. Therefore, we must believe that behind the renunciation of the throne, there must have been the force of some profound principle. Brave individuals do not act impulsively. Renouncing the kingdom is an ordinary task, but maintaining that renunciation is very difficult, and only then does the renunciation hold value. Moreover, the principle spoken of here does not appear suddenly from nowhere. Principles require development. A principle must become a part of life itself. In the early years of renunciation, how much mental turmoil must Lord Mahavir have gone through? How many delusions must have vanished? How many small and large challenges must he have faced? And how much patience must he have shown in upholding the principle? As Mahavir embarked on the path of renunciation, how many trials did he endure in clearing his path? Accepting everyone's bonds of affection, but loosening those bonds when the time comes to move forward—what kind of asceticism is this? It's like wearing clothes and diving into the water, but when you emerge, not a single garment should be wet. Lord Mahavir took a plunge into the ocean of the world, but he did not allow a single garment to get wet: he walked away from the world with nothing but bare clothes.
