Friends,
:) Did not know where to place this ... I know its a general spiritual qualification but I would quote from advaita works, mostly. Thus thought of posting some simple verses on Vairagya , Dispassion or Detachment.
Total disenchantment with the world is a sign of wisdom. When we see how transient this world is and enquire into it we clearly tend to appreciate the simple observations! these are simple quotes from various works :
I start with vairagya satakam:
भोगा न भुक्ता वयमेव भुक्ता
स्तपो न तप्तँ वयमेव तप्ताः।
कालो न यातो वयमेव याता
स्तृष्णा न जीर्णा वयमेव जीर्णाः॥
we think we are enjoying, while we are being enjoyed upon
though no religious austerities are performed, we are being scorched
the time is not moving, we ourselves are moving away.
the longing for pleasures is not aging though we ourselves age!! --> vairagya satakam
Love!
Silence
