Non-attachment

The lotus leaf is in the water. The water cannot touch and adhere to it. You should be in the world like that. This is called vairāgya, dispassion or non-attachment. Without non-attachment there cannot be any kind of yoga. Non-attachment is the basis of all the yogas.

  1. There are two sides to this. I heard a priest say. The whole of Europe is filled and surrounded by Christianity and the love of Christ. But some people have shells around them that it does not penetrate and they are non-attached or un-influenced by the surrounding love.
