Detached Love
21 May 2023
The concept of detachment (Vairagya) is a difficult one to digest. Most people understand it as renunciation (giving up) of pleasures of life and relationships. We often hear the advice that when we feel hurt by someone, we should detach ourselves from such person to avoid the situation to re-occur ??
The concept of Vairagya has been discussed in great detail in Vedic spiritual scriptures and its unified importance in one's journey towards Nirvana.

Vairagya is about being dispassionate. Its not about breaking relationships. But about setting up your relationships right. Detachment does not mean that You are being passive. It means you are now ready to exercise your free will in the right direction for your loved ones.

When you are attached to someone, it’s like you have been taken to judicial custody - hand cuffed. Your personal liberties have been restrained. Imagine if you are handcuffed, how you are expected to help a sick family member. You can neither give medicine nor prepare any food for them.
When you are detached from a person, you gain freedom to actively help that person. Your Love is now free to act. Being detached means now you are Not going to allow your impulse and feelings to cloud your wisdom. You have built capability to act in a helpful way but with some vigor (emotion is ok but emotional drama does not shake you)
Attachment means now the person is going to act like a parasite! clinging on the back of the person for one’s own personal benefit. While true love means when you do not care about self interest and your sole aim is the prosperity of the other.
There is no love in attachment. Attachment + Love = Polluted Love
Detachment and love goes together. Try out and see great actions happening in detachment.
With much regards and best wishes

1 年Detachment is a varied and complex aspect of human life and that may need hours to discuss for mutual understanding, acceptance and practice. We have to explore and analyse four principles of Vedas and the explanations and interpretations vividly offered by various Upanishads that end Vedas which is Ved ant. Human has remained the same so far as attachment and suffering are concerned and we have to use our wisdom in search of the truth that will assist us in our quest for true understanding of the required spiritual aspects that will connect our souls to divinity. We must continuously keep our receptacles empty cleansed and free from odd convictions to receive the solemn principles to live a meaningful human life to serve one's self and mankind at large. The teachings of the Vedas further expanded by the Upanishads are to support us to achieve that goal. May God blesses all.
