HOW CAN I BECOME A SANYASI BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC SUFFERINGS ?
A person trying to become a sanyasi ( monk ) because of domestic life suffering is NOT THE RIGHT WAY OF TAKING UP SANYAAS.
It reflects that the native is coward to fight with the situation and want to ESCAPE FROM ALL RESPONSIBLITIES OF LIFE.
A true person who want to be a Sanyasi will never take up that path because of sufferings in life and is fed up with it, NO NO NO. A Sanyasi is a path of QUEST FOR THE TRUTH AND KNOWLEDGE OF WISDOM.
One who is very curious to know the truth of life and want to quest for it and ready to take the physical as well as mental pain in the whole journey WHICH IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN SUFFERING IN OUR DOMESTIC LIFE, can take up Sanyaas.
When there is lot of problems in life then a person really gets fed up with every day crisis and sometime think of leaving everything and stay alone in a lonely place, BUT HE DOESN’T DO THAT AS HIS SELF-REALIZATION SHOW HIM HIS REAL RESPONSIBLITES which he need to take up and do. AND THAT IS THE REAL DHARMA OF A HUMAN BEING.
Taking up our domestic family responsibility is also a type of DHYAN / MEDITATION as one is totally FOCUSED on his responsibilities and know nothing about anything other than that.
Meditation is also same thing, forgetting every other things and focusing on a point ( not elaborating much about it as it is a deep and very big subject ).
One may think that taking up Sanyaas is very easy to escape from all the responsibilities, NO because in simple layman’s understanding, one leaves all his comforts of living including his food and clothing.
A sanyasi do not know if he can get food to eat tomorrow, sleepless night in winter, rain and hot summer doing penance to seek the truth. If the body do not have the capacity to bear such torture then a person CAN NOT BECOME OR TAKE UP SANYAAS.
It is said that the other side of the mountains from far always look more greener and beautiful, but when we ACTUALLY go near it then we come to know how much thorny tree and plants are there and how rough and uneven is the surface there.
Same with the thought of taking up Sanyaas due to suffering.
Once I said to someone giving him an example that IT IS NOT EASY TO BECOME A GUNDA ( bad person / goons ). One need to have many qualities like fearless, can bear lot and lot of pain after getting beaten up by police, can live in hostile place, can bear with small wounds, unscheduled life style, always have to live in group as one is always in fear of getting killed etc etc etc.
The same with becoming of a sanyasi.
GOD WILL NEVER BE PLEASED WITH SUCH PERSON WHO DID NOT FULFILL HIS DUTIES PRESCRIBED BY GOD AND LEAVING THE DEPENDENT IN DISTRESS.
Hope I tried to give my view on the question and rest the readers are wise to understand.
