Detachment Quotes


Real Detachment
The man who is pure of heart is bound to fulfil himself in whatever way he is taught. A worldly man seeks all his life, but is still bewildered. Detached from the senses, you are free. Attached, you are bound. When this is understood, you may live as you please.
Astavakra Gita 15:1-2
*
Those who conquer their minds are beings of renunciation and detachment. They are lovingly focussed on the True One, they realise and understand themselves.
Guru Nanak
*
O my mind, day and night, you are always full of wishful hopes. Serve the true Guru, and your emotional attachment shall be totally burnt away; remain detached within the home of your heart.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
*
The essence of the way is detachment.
Bodhidharma
*
Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.
St John of the Cross

What IS Detachment???

Detachment is not indifference, distancing or remaining disconnected from people & events;
It is in embracing all - without labels of 'right and wrong'- without judgment of 'good or bad' -without descriptions of 'happy or painful.'.. And in this embracing... acceptance ... witnessing- detachment happens!!

Detachment ‘happens’ in all embracing acceptance! Not in denunciation or rejection of this that or the other!

Detachment is not in shunning, suppressing, fighting desires;
It arises in fulfillment ...or completion of .... desires!
Your 'desires' are your soul purposes and as you fulfill desires.... or complete the deeper learning behind the desire ...various soul purposes are being fulfilled
And as that happens- as soul plans are completed- desires which were only the propellers- are transcended- and detachment happens!

Detachment is not in having ‘no desires’; detachment is in the awareness that ‘your’ desires are only vehicles for the universal cosmic play to carry on

Detachment comes of its own accord…effortlessly almost… or it’s not detachment!
And indeed it cannot be wholly present when your roles in the cosmic game are still required...for then…how…or why…or what …would propel you? (‘Your’ desires are actually only divine desire, the cosmic play, being carried out through a ‘you’…)
But even as your roles near completion – are you automatically drawn to detachment…just as you were earlier to manifestation…!
And all that you may have learnt or read about detachment …or strived towards … culminates… and happens!

Detachment 'happens'! Striving towards detachment is attachment to detachment!

When there is no ‘you’…
When you personal consciousness merges with universal Self/consciousness
There is no personal attachment-or detachment-all is part of the cosmic play
And this play
This gurgle
This all embracing “Ah so it is!”
Moves you away from ‘concepts’ of attachment-detachment
