Detachment without conflict is true detachment

Spiritual teachers often share teachings that attachment causes suffering. Its modern interpretation misses its original intent. Forceful detachment or resisting desires for the sake of spiritual ego only creates inner conflict and more misery.

When yogis mention detachment, they mean to outgrow it. Just like how you outgrew and parted with your childhood toys, without any distress or conflict within.

Detachment is not a forced state or concept, but a natural outcome as inner awareness increases.
