Ma Gurupriya ji's reflections on Poojya Swamiji's morning messages (Prabhata Rashmih)
Date: 07 May 2025
Venue: Vijnana Bhavan, Narayanashrama Tapovanam

In this Satsang, Ma reads and explains the chapter ‘Detachment—The only way to Live well’, from Swamiji’s book ‘Prabhata Rashmih’(Vol 1), which says that the message of spirituality is to remain unaffected in the midst of every situation, and not running away from anything.

Attachment is a self-created, self-courted bondage. Attachment becomes a source of agitation, anxiety, and fear and it constricts the personality. When one’s own composure is shaken, when one suffers because of a situation, it means that there is attachment. When there is a sense of ease and freedom, it is the result of detachment.

Nature does not get attached to anything. Flowers bloom, plants grow, rivers flow, but there is no attachment. A human being is also a part of nature. But we fail to understand the harmonious rhythm of nature and end up cultivating desires, expectations, preferences, and prejudices. What is the pursuit of a spiritual seeker? Attachment of any kind--to the family, to situations, to profession, to one’s own opinions-- is to be identified and removed.

Bhagavad Gita says that everything in creation, including the human body, is shaped by the Supreme power. The body is also animated and activated by God. Living in the world created by God, moving in the world created by God, a seeker must do everything for the sake of God, the Supreme Power.
