Teji
Teji is a concept in Sikhism that refers to the practice of renunciation or detachment. It is not about abandoning worldly possessions or responsibilities entirely, but rather about cultivating an inner freedom from their influence. This means engaging with the world and its affairs without becoming overly attached to the outcomes, pleasures, or pains associated with them.
