The Significance of Detachment

Now there are people who go get attached to someone, to one person, or to the family, to their children, to relations..... That's also not the way you can get to God. That's also so limited; keeps you hanging around them and wasting your energy completely.


But if you enter into your being, fully, then all these things have such meaning. Every thing has a meaning then. In the sense, if you possess anything, and if you are that kind of a person who is supposed to be possessive-he's never possessive-he is so detached about it. But he can play around, because he's so detached. He can create a drama out of it.


He can play with the possessions, and teach lots of lessons to people. He's so detached, so generous, he enjoys his generosity. The whole thing becomes so different too, so dynamic. All the beauty that is created by human beings as possession is exposed before you. And you start enjoying all those things, without possessing them. You understand the myth of possession.
