[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 75870, member: 5290"] Detachment is a state of mind only.One has to make special efforts for this.One should concentrate on Guru-mantar as long as possible.It helps purification of mind. The main reason is attachment to Maya i.e on account of the 'tri gunas' i.e Sato, Rajo and Tamo-Gunas. It is this nature[prakrti] that make us feel lost.There is clear reference to this fact in Geeta as well. The other reason is the emotional attachment to the objects/things that the senses appreciate. The attachment gives birth to the desires. The unfulfilled desires lead to anger. Anger leads to loss of reason. Loss of reason affects memory and if this is continued the impaired memory leads to ruin. It is the way I look at the things. You may kindly opine as well. One should therefore, get over the attachment and also subdue the desires. It is the way that we can reach the state of detachment that leads to state of [I]Equipoise[/I]. The Guru sahibaan have given lot of importance to [I]Equipoise[/I]. It is in this state that one can become a devotee.
