DETACHMENT

EP  14

Detachment, as we understand it, means neither over- nor undervaluing anything. In other words there is a place for everything. What is to be avoided is to become embroiled in and overly dependent on material goods, material aims, or, conversely, to value only the higher worlds.

We are fundamentally opposed to any system of exercise adop­ted by Westerners which creates a division between the mun­dane and the Divine and a gulf between meditative state and a normal waking state. It is not healthy, nor respectful, to annihilate either the natural world or the lower body belonging to it.
