Sanyas life
The life of a sannyāsa is the highest initiation, a divine life of walking constantly in fire. The orange cloth signifies this fire, which burns those who do not follow its principles but liberates those who do. The first principle is to have no attachment and to hate no one, remaining neutral. One must love others without attachment, creating distance if attachment forms. Tradition dictates that sannyāsīs should not stay in one place for more than three days outside an āshram, renouncing their family to accept the world as family.
"Love them but without attachment."
"sannyāsīs should not stay in one place for more than three days, except in an āshram."
