detachment-

[Guest guest]

friends,

the detachment what everyone is talking about is not only from the

family or other worldly things,but a total one which ramanar did.can

all of us do the same? what is the other way of realising the

self.bhakti marg is the solution.the great saints like bhakta

ramdas,thigarajar and others have shown the way.why not follow that

rather than becoming saint.

Namaste and Dear Shree Vaidyanath Iyer,

 

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback which presents an opportunity

to clarify things.

 

'Detachment' is not physical. It is 'detachment' from the limited,

detachment from what is not Love, 'detachment' from impurities. In

fact, without this 'detachment from the limited', there is no

unconditional respect and unconditional love even in one's usual

daily affairs. As I said in my previous post or

elsewhere, 'detachment' must be a pleasure. If it is pain, then it

defeats the purpose and is not 'detachment' and rather is an

attachment in disguise.

 

This gives rise to another thought to ponder over what

is 'attachment'. My first thoughts - Its symptoms are indicated by a

sequence of thoughts which are repeatdely performed painfully giving

rise to attachment.

 

Best Regards,

Raghava
