disturbance to sociey if not purified

Without purification of heart, sannyāsa is simply a disturbance to the social order.

The renounced order of life can be accepted upon being purified by the discharge of the prescribed form of duties which are laid down just to purify the heart of materialistic men. Without purification, one cannot attain success by abruptly adopting the fourth order of life (sannyasa). According to the empirical philosophers, simply by adopting sannyasa, or retiring from fruitive activities, one at once becomes as good as Narayana. But Lord Krsna does not approve this principle. Without purification of heart, sannyasa is simply a disturbance to the social order. On the other hand, if someone takes to the transcendental service of the Lord, even without discharging his prescribed duties, whatever he may be able to advance in the cause is accepted by the Lord (buddhi-yoga). Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat. Even a slight performance of such a principle enables one to overcome great difficulties. (More...)

"Not by merely abstaining from work can one achieve freedom from reaction nor by renunciation alone can one attain perfection. All men are forced to act helplessly according to the impulses born of the modes of material nature. Therefore nobody can refrain from doing something not even for a moment. One who restrains the senses and organs of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender. But on the other hand he who controls the senses by the mind and who engages his active organs in works of devotion without attachments is by far superior." (More...)
