In today's world where every one is lost in the mirage of materialistic gains,selfishness and competitive zeal have made a man mechanical generating despair and depression ,the philosophy of detachment is the only way to live well.This philosophy as enunciated by Krishna in the GITA has been a great source of delight and inspiration for me since my childhood.It has helped me in managing stress and strain.It is yoga of one's mind to control thought process leading to sickness of mind darkened by desire for fruits and worldly pleasure.Sorrow,separation,stress, despondency are states of mind which every individual inherently carries at one point of time in life.In a situation like this resentment wells up threatening our peace of mind and happiness.It is this desire which nourishes our dreams and strengthens our attachment to worldly things.However,the philosophy of detachment never teaches that one should not have dreams and desire at all.It is a science through which mind could be trained to manage the stress .It helps us in understanding the causes which sicken our minds.In Europe and America majority of people suffer from nervous disorder , the cases of depression, schizophrenia are very high.Stepping into WESTERN life style ,many people in India are becoming psychopathetic cases.Detachment could teach people to manage self in office,home,institutes and in interpersonal life.Thus one could avoid afflictions to oneself attaining sublimity of mind and thought process.
While living in this world,we may have to face many situations where we have to give responses or reactions to every kind of situation.The mind which produces these reactions also has the inherent capacity to live through and outlive them.If mind creates an emotion or agitation ,it can as well live through and outlive it.Detachment never teaches you to get subdued or makes you timid but it enriches your search engine, helps you to filter and sublimate how to remain unaffected .The very nature of life, the laws of universe teach us that we are not born to become attached to anything..Now, the question arises,what is meant by detachment? It is self-courted bondage.It is layered by the webs of maya., what Shankara calls illusion..We live , love, get married..The associations of marriage is a source of joy,harmony and additional strength for us.If it proves to be cumbersome or otherwise, a source of agitation,anxiety and fear, it subdues and checks the freedom of your mind instead of nourishing and expanding it,then it is because of attachment.This attachment is to be identified and removed.Without detachment,you cannot have strength ,tranquility and freedom.
Life is such a loose bag monster that you may never know ,when your composer has been assaulted by attachment?You may work at home ,office, schools, colleges or a multinational organization,the ethics of work teaches you to be like a catalyst which accelerates the rate of reaction remaining unaffected like a tungsten wire.The air that we breathe, the rivers that nourishes vast regions through its courses of flow, animals that serve us, mountains,fountains, rivers running through the seas, nothing get attached, then why men?This is the question which had afflicted Arjuna in the Mahabharata , which Krishna diagnosed to cure through his deliberations (therapeutic counselling) on the philosophy of detachment and stress management, without which he would have never won the war and relapsed to non-performance.
We are supposed to be moving,flowing.Initially, we are related to our parents.Then tied in the marital bond.Then we have children, their marital relations, children and the grand children.Through all these relationship we are supposed to flow,without getting attached to anything. Swami Bhumananda Tirtha calls it inner enrichment through knowledge.Whenever you suffer,the cause is attachment .Budha renounced the world to get the answer for himself first, and then the whole world.You can practice this yoga of detachment caught into the whirlpools of this world and manage your self to produce better results, benevolent thoughts and build up great cultural values and treasure in society.Detachment unleases the forces of creativity, tranquility,sublimity , harmony enriching your life, making it rewarding and happier.
