XII. Detachment - Unifying Thoughts, Words and Deeds

For the wheel of existence, the mind is the focal point, the central hub from

which all worldly activities emerge. To be able to penetrate this focal point

and obtain a vision of the immortal self that is beyond, you must cultivate the

practice of non-attachment. Make every effort to develop this most important

discipline.

 

Embodiments of Love,

Renunciation or detachment can also be thought of as non-attachment.

Non-attachment is when the mind and the senses become unaffected by the objects

of the world and remain indifferent to their attraction and repulsion. The mind

covers the true self; therefore, the mind can be described as a veil. It is a

veil of ignorance, for it hides your true self and keeps you unaware of its

magnificent presence within you. But, the mind, itself, is tied down by the

sense organs, and the sense organs are attracted to the objects of the

phenomenal world, and get bound by them. Therefore, the first step in realizing

your true self is to gain control over your sense organs. For this, the practice

of non-attachment is essential.
