13. Detachment
DetachmentDoes not mean negligence.
Detachment
Does not mean lack of concern for humanity.
True detachment means
Not to try to influence the world,
Convince the world
Or guide the world
In one's own way,
But to allow the world to grow
In God's way,
For in each individual
There is a spark of divinity.
Let divinity act
In and through each individual —
Seeker or non-seeker —
For the Inner Pilot knows best
How to operate
In and through each human being.
Sri Chinmoy, Dedication-Drops, Agni Press, 1976
