Detachment from Transient Unreality, Leads to Self Realization

 

The Self (I) has no relationship with the body or with the world.

The Self (I) is immortal. Tulsadasji has declared in the

Ramcharitramanasa - " The soul (Self) being a part of God is

immortal " . From time immemorable, the Self remains the same, though

the body is born and dies again and again. The body is impermanent;

while the Self is permanent. Our detachment from the transient body

is permanent. Therefore if we consider our Self as detached from the

body, then we will realize that we are already established in God.

 

Sometimes family members get into a fight (arguement). The mother

tells her son, not to fight with his sister. She says that the

sister's stay in the home is temporary, as after marriage she will

be living with her husband. Similarly, the existence of the body and

wordly things is only transient and will totally cease to exist one

day. Therefore we should accept the truth. Just as we lovingly bring

up our daughter and provide her with food, clothes and other

necessities, we should likewise serve the world to the best of our

ability.

 

The road to God Realization lies in rooting out our desires and

detaching ourselves from the physical body and worldly things. By

detaching ourselves from the attachment to transient unreality, we

shall attain God (Self) Realization instantly.
