“The renunciate never denies passion. The renunciate simply denies attachment to results. Passion is a love of doing. Doing is being, experienced. And what is often created as part of doing? Expectation. To live your life without expectation, without a need for specific results. That is freedom. That is godliness. That is how I live.
You are not attached to results?
Absolutely not! My joy is in the creating, not in the aftermath. Renunciation is not a decision to deny action. Renunciation is a decision to deny a need for a particular result. There’s a vast difference.”
Neale Donald Walsch: Conversations with God, Book 1: An Uncommon Dialogue (1995)
