The detachment, then, is feeling lack of liking and hatred in this world for any object or any person. Persons and objects will still be there. You will be neutral to them. If they exist or not, it doesn’t bother you at all, for you have no interest in them since you have realized that happiness has never been in any object or person however beautiful, enchanting, entertaining it seems to be. It was there in your own thinking that such objects or persons brought you happiness. If this decision is firm, hatred vanishes automatically, for you don’t foresee any threat to incoming happiness since you know that it is not there in the first place.

Following are some examples of detached activities.

The Permanent Solution – 16 (A philosophical short book)

Let us assume that there is couple. Both of them are governed by rajas mood. Wife’s rajas mood is much stronger than her husband’s. Wife proposes a concert visit and husband promptly agrees to it. Both of them leave house. While going to concert, they come across a book stall. Since there is enough time to go to concert, they get into book stall to see the range of books available. They come across a book on God realization. Husband picks it up and scrolls trough it. His rajas mood, which was not strong enough, gets subdued as a result of divine atmosphere provided by book. Wife is getting restless, for they might miss the concert if her husband continued reading the book in which she has no interest at all . Husband’s mood gets totally changed.
