I have seen, all too often, people jumping into an artificially surrendered situation, without sufficient attachment to the association of sadhus, and motivated primarily to renounce a situation which they saw as a cause of their suffering. Certainly, suffering is an impetus to take to spiritual life. However, "spiritual life" means to cultivate an attachment for the holy name in the association of those who have some attachment. Spiritual life is not based simply upon renunciation of problematic material life.
