Sanyasa ashrama is one of the four stages of man's life.
However a sanyasi is technically outside the social fold.
He is outside social divisions or categories, and its rules.
He does not have any social bond as such, though
he can raise his meal through accepting alms and by attending people's houses as a guest.
A sanyasi is not supposed to stay long in any single place,
he should be continuously moving so that
he is not attached to any person or place.
This is why a sanyasi is in fact called parivrajaka, one that roams and is never settled in a place.
The single point goal of a sanyasi is liberation, and nothing else.
He should have no desires, temptations, ambitions, other than liberation.
