E-Go!

Nice one this:

How is the attitude of sannyasa (renunciation) of the mind developed?

When actions are undertaken without ego - as humble expressions of love for the Lord, the reactions of those actions cannot reach the person, since the ego that suffers or enjoys such reactions is not available. With this attitude of egolessness toward all activity, the mind becomes increasingly purified. Such a purified mind gains concentration and single pointedness and discovers in itself even greater reserves of discrimination. It learns to renounce all egocentric quests and all anxieties or cravings for the fruits of action. The Gita calls this attitude of mind as renunciation, or sannyasa.
