Minimalism is a lifestyle and philosophy that advocates for simplicity, reducing possessions, and focusing on what is essential.

On the path of knowledge, minimalism is relevant as:

• An external expression of inner renunciation

• A practice of reducing distractions for contemplation

• A natural result of detachment from objects

• Related to the qualities of a seeker

The true minimalist is one who recognizes that all objects are illusory and that one's true nature is the experiencer, which needs nothing.
