Detached

To be detached in no way means you do not feel the other person.  You do feel him.  You feel the agony of that person, the trouble of that person, of the whole society sometimes and of the whole country, but your feeling is so detached that the All-pervading Power takes over.  First we must have full faith in the capability of this All-pervading Power.  As soon as you are detached, you say, “You do it” – finished.  Once you say that “You are going to do it, it’s You who is going to do it”, the whole thing changes completely because you transfer all your responsibilities, all your problems to this Divine Power which is so powerful, which is so capable, which can work out anything.
