What is enjoyment and what is renunciation?

Enjoyment refers to sense activities, and renunciation refers to remaining aloof from material objects for sense gratification. When enjoyment is prominent, renunciation is diminished. Neither enjoyment (material variegatedness) nor renunciation (material impersonalism) are necessary in this world. Actual enjoyment means to serve the Supreme Lord; real renunciation means to reject material enjoyment in order to give Krsna pleasure. A devoteeā€™s two primary qualities are attachment to Krsna and renunciation of the thirst for material enjoyment. A devotee finds enjoyment in assisting Krsna to satisfy His senses.
