Detachment

‘Detachment means you are yours. I have nothing to do with you.’ This theory of detachment is on the physical, vital and mental plane. But real detachment is conscious awareness of God-existence in and through all. Real detachment is conscious and constant acceptance of God’s operation in and through each individual soul. Detachment is not avoidance of one’s duty. Detachment means to be a conscious participant inwardly, silently and soulfully in God’s cosmic Game without offering suggestions or advice, without offering one’s own light, but seeing the Supreme Light operating in the Supreme’s own way.

To break the cosmic harmony is not detachment. Real detachment is to be aware of God’s operation in and through each individual and to cry for God-manifestation in God’s own way. Detachment is not to say, “I have nothing to do with you.” Detachment means “I have everything to do with you but I won’t be attached to your physical, I won’t be attached to your vital, I won’t be attached to your mind. I won’t be attached to you, but I will be totally devoted to the Real in you, which is God. Outwardly I shall not throw in my suggestions. I shall not try to control your life. Inwardly I shall become one, absolutely one with God’s wish for you, and I shall serve you in His own way. Real detachment is not negligence in any way or form. It is allowing God’s Will to operate freely in other human beings.

Detachment

Detachment

Does not mean negligence.

Detachment

Does not mean lack of concern for humanity.

True detachment means

To allow God-action

In and through each individual.

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. ```
