In Simple Terms

Detachment — seeing clearly without being pulled by desire or pushed by fear.

Overview

The quality of being unmoved by sensory attraction — not coldness but clarity. Vairagya is seeing things as they are without the distortion of craving or aversion.

Why It Matters

Without vairagya, the mind is enslaved by objects. With it, you can engage fully without being captured.
