What wisdom produces renunciation? Wisdom that is one of the fruits of devotional service to Krishna.

When one experiences the nectar of devotional service and becomes steeped in the knowledge of the Vedas, one naturally becomes averse to material life and attains freedom from its bondage.

These essays were written by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1948–49.


From the back cover:

As Brilliant as the Sun…
The Bhagavad-gita is widely recognized as the jewel of India’s spiritual wisdom, but sometimes those unfamiliar with Eastern thought find it difficult to grasp. In Renunciation Through Wisdom, Srila Prabhupada has simplified the teachings of the Gita for our understanding. If we study this book and follow its instructions, the brilliant sunshine of transcendental knowledge will soon dispel the darkness of ignorance, and then love of God—the goal of all spiritual knowledge and practice—will dawn in our hearts.
