The end of self development is self destruction, you will realize you need to build a castle only to destroy it to find the treasure within

If you have renounced self you have renounced everything if not then you have renounced nothing at all.
I personally pity the ones that cannot enjoy the fine pleasures of material reality without attaching to them.

“But where is this true possession of God, whereby we really possess him, to be found? This real possession of God is to be found in the heart, in an inner motion of the spirit towards him and striving for him, and not just in thinking about him always and in the same way. For that would be beyond the capacity of our nature and would be very difficult to achieve and would not even be the best thing to do. We should not content ourselves with the God of thoughts for, when the thoughts come to an end, so too shall God. Rather, we should have a living God who is beyond the thoughts of all people and all creatures. That kind of God will not leave us, unless we ourselves choose to turn away from him.”
― Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings
