Across literature, the term "renunciation" is portrayed as a multifaceted symbol—ranging from a sacred spiritual practice to a deliberate philosophical or psychological stance on self-denial. In spiritual writings, such as Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi [1, 2, 3, 4] and ancient scriptures like the Bhagavad-Gita [5, 6, 7, 8], renunciation is celebrated as a disciplined surrender to higher truths and a pathway to inner transformation. Philosophers such as Nietzsche [9, 10] and Schopenhauer [11, 12] delve into renunciation as both an act of rejecting transient worldly pleasures and a means of grappling with the demands of existential authenticity. Meanwhile, Freud’s analysis [13, 14, 15, 16] presents renunciation as a psychological exchange, where the giving up of one desire compensates for the loss of another. This varied usage in literature—from depicting noble sacrifice in works by Santayana and Rousseau [17, 18] to critiquing its sometimes hypocritical or painful aspects in novels by Dickens, Hardy, and others [19, 20, 21, 22]—underscores renunciation as an enduring concept that illuminates the tension between human aspiration and the relinquishment of comfort.
