Detachment in whatever one does is an absolutely essential key to achieving mega success in life. Why this point out of the blue? I had been thinking about writing this article since a long time but could not find time for the same due to laziness or may be lack of time (everybody’s excuse)!!! For those who are into Hindu philosophy or way of life this topic is not a big surprise. For others it might seem little odd. But it is true not only from my own experience but also from the teachings of the masters.
Detachment means performing one’s duties with complete dedication and focus but not getting unduly attached to the fruits thereof. An activity undertaken with a degree of detachment is certain to give better results as the action taken would have an objective screen to it rather than subjective and the results of objective actions are always better than subjective. One of the greatest Hindu texts The Bhagwat Gita (The song divine) illustrates this point wonderfully and one is advised to read that text to have a better understanding.
Attachment is blinding. Love without attachment is one of the ideal ways of living. A person who is in into stock markets will certainly be having an idea of what I’m talking about. Except for traders, other investors etc. will always have a better performance when they are not overly attached to their stocks or business news. I personally had a better performance when I was not watching the news constantly and on the days when I was glued to TV screens my performance was suboptimal.
Truly speaking detachment is linked closely to self discipline and one of the pillars to reaching one’s goals of mega success and mega money. I think this concept of detachment has not got its due in general success books and magazines owing to lack of understanding of the concept. At a more superficial level detachment seems to evoke a feeling of doing one’s tasks without passion but it’s actually the opposite. I feel Sedona Method technique also allows one to achieve a certain degree of detachment in day to day activities.
