Is worldly life an impediment to liberation?

Questioner: Why did you not become a renunciate?
Dadashri: There was no circumstance for renunciation. It is not that I disliked renunciation but I did not see any circumstance for it. And besides, I believed that the worldly life does not obstruct liberation. I believed very strongly in that. It is not the worldly life that obstructs liberation, it is the ignorance of the Self that does. Yes, Lord Mahavir did talk about the path of renunciation but He spoke about it in general. He did not emphasize it. And it is with emphasis and assurance that I am saying that the worldly life does not obstruct liberation.
