Only Way to 'Vairagya' - The State of Absolute Renunciation


Ever cropping desires and relentless pursuits to satisfy them.

Many wins and many losses, like a never finishing roller coaster ride....

When a mortal soul wears out due to these never ending and seemingly everlasting cycles, it eventually seeks to retreat and develops a tendency to withdraw..., thus naturally slipping into a state of ‘Vairagya’.

All other pursuits of renunciation are mere imitations, only driven by the force of desire, thus bounding oneself well within the realms of Maya.

Consequence of Human Acumen

The fear of death or extinction is so compelling for the life it forced even humans, with distinct acumen, to innovate mostly towards sustenance.

Since their acumen is so uncommon and powerful, it obviously leads to wild increase in their numbers causing imbalances within the nature. These imbalances in turn provide stimuli leaving the human kind busy perhaps meaninglessly forever. Interestingly, during the gaps of apparent win over the nature, the life’s inability to stand still has only persisted in continuous interaction with its surroundings leading to nothing but mere indulgence.

Some for some unknown reason, particularly those who are either not moved due to the threat of extinction or not just interested in their mere sustenance, have utilized the same powerful acumen to keenly observe the wonder of their own existence, an awakening towards their surroundings; intrigue themselves about the apparent gap between them and their environment.

While some among them discovered ‘the continuum’ between them and their environment (leading to the concept of non-duality – ‘Advaitha’) the others have lingered with the gap (leading to the concepts of duality - ‘Dvaitha’).

Either way both concluded the meaninglessness of constant ping pong with The Nature and sought for total dissolution into or oneness with it.
