A word is introduced that will be chief to the chapter's end: vāsanā.
It is “impression”, “trace”, “habit” — the residue of the lived-through that remains in the mind and decides where the mind will lean next time. Not a thought but an inclination. Not what I think, but what I am drawn to before any thought.
The vāsanā is the real tether. One can leave home, give away one's goods, fall silent for twenty years — and remain with one's inclinations.
Therefore the verse says: the best renunciation is not of things but of vāsanās.
Note the last words: vimala-krama, “the stainless course” or “the pure going”. Liberation is named not a state but a movement. It is not only the goal but also the way of walking.
