Explanation

In Hindu philosophy, Nivritti refers to the path of renunciation, contemplation, and turning away from worldly desires and active life. It is contrasted with Pravritti, which is the path of active engagement in the world. Therefore, Nivritti represents those who renounce the world to seek spiritual liberation.
