Sannyasa (Devanagari: सन्यास, sannyāsa) is the order of life of the renouncer within the Hindu scheme of āśramas, or life stages. It is considered the topmost and final stage of the ashram systems and is traditionally taken by men or women at or beyond the age of fifty years old or by young monks who wish to renounce worldly and materialistic pursuits and instead dedicate their entire life towards spiritual pursuits. In this phase of life, the person develops vairāgya, or a state of dispassion and detachment from material life. He renounces all worldly thoughts and desires, and spends the rest of his life in spiritual contemplation. One within the sannyasa order is known as a sannyasin (male) or sannyasini (female).
During the sannyasa phase of life, a person may be said to abandon fire (Agnihotra, allowed to the householder stage of life, the Grihastha ashram). It means that during sannyasa ashram, the person may choose not to cook, perform fire rituals or take heat from fire. In practice, however, Sannyasis generally do various services and partake in sacred rituals to set an example for others. Sannyasa focuses only on the self and spirituality and not even the gods (as abandoning fire suggests). Symbolically, a sannyasi casts his physical body to fire by wearing saffron robes at the moment of taking up sannyasa itself, thus freeing his soul, while yet alive. Hence, sannyasis are not cremated after death (as most Hindus are) but may instead be buried.

A symbolic sannyasi?

If you use A.S.E. tools to Tune-up your own auto, does that you a Auto mechanic or an Engineer?
No more than practicing these principles makes you a sannyasi.

"One within the sannyasa order is known as a sannyasin (male) or sannyasini (female)."

IAm just a humble mechanic (practitioner), tuning up my own 'vehicle', not a master, though I use the tools.

If all is undecidable then maybe it's time to freely live one's life.

RE-ATTACHED Like two golden birds perched in the self-same tree, “Lo,” one said to his siamese twin, “I am thee and you are me, forever joined in harmony.” The ego and the true self are such intimate friends as to be inseparable by any operation, and so each may ever have joy unto the other. The former partakes of the bitter and the sweet fruits, these experiences bursting alive against the palate, a grand taste of the the tree of life, while the latter looks on in glorious attachment and witness of life’s wondrous experience.
