Is renunciation a limb of devotional service?
Just as darkness follows light, so where there is devotional service, renunciation automatically follows.
But renunciation with an adverse quality cannot be counted as a limb of devotional service.
As shadow is not a limb of light but a concomitant, so renunciation is only a companion of devotional service.
The conclusion is that knowledge and renunciation must accompany devotional service, but they cannot be called limbs of devotional service.
