Summary

This quote suggests that in order to experience true happiness, one must be willing to detach oneself from the worldly desires and attachments. It implies that when we are too consumed by our materialistic pursuits and worldly ambitions, the "genius of happiness," or the ability to truly experience and appreciate joy, eludes us. Renouncing the world means letting go of superficial desires and finding contentment within oneself, rather than seeking external gratification. By prioritizing inner peace and detachment from material possessions, one can unlock the true essence of happiness.
