In vairagya, there is a lack of affection for anything other than Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → not having love is called vairagya. Generally, even a detached seeker who has vairagya towards the five worldly senses definitely has pure affection and love for the pure self-form other than Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn.

Take care of it, but do not be attached to it. Do not have affection. What is called affection? It is written in Gunatitanand Swami's talks, right? A fakir was walking along. He found a rope. So he put it on his shoulder, and it fell on the way. Then he remembered, "Oh! The rope was very good." But now he doesn't know where it fell. So? He was attached to the rope. He wasn't attached. But what does that mean? No regret. Not to go crazy. If we have found something good, and a good place, everything is convenient, and then if someone moves us from there, then? Then were they attached to the rope or not? If they move us, what do they do? That's why Maharaj used to move them, Maharaj. That is, changing the situation, moving the person. He used to do all that, right? Brahmanand Swami built the whole temple, and Maharaj said, "Come on, let's go now." So Brahmanand Swami is said to have vairagya. He said, "Maharaj, should I ask for the begging bag or should I bring another one, or should I ask for the begging bag?" He didn't get upset, you know. He said, "So now you listen to the kirtan kirtan Divine songs about Bhagvãn and His charitras, usually sung to the accompaniment of musical instruments.

What if he dismantles our setup? If he dismantles your setup in the office, then what? You have come to this side, and we carry the computer on our shoulder and leave. Then you go there. What if you have just bought a new version? Then what happens? Huh? Does the setup get ruined, or does the mind get ruined, or do you lose your temper? What happens? Huh? Everything happens. So, only then does one realize what vairagya is. We only realize vairagya when we are uprooted from where we are highly attached. Otherwise, how would we know vairagya? What kind of vairagya do we have? If we are just walking and running in a regular routine, what do we know about vairagya? If we ourselves have made a setup, like Brahmanand Swami, and developed it, and just when it is about to bear fruit, he says, "Now you go." "Water the other tree that has been planted." "We will eat those fruits." Like that. When he does that, then one realizes vairagya. Vairagya, who is to eat the fruit? Based on that, there is fruit, vairagya. They say beneficiary, right? Beneficiary. So, whom have we made the beneficiary? That is why it is called desireless action (nishkam karma karma Action. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards. Tap to open in glossary → Desireless action is a great vairagya. It is a great vairagya. What can be called a vairagya like that? We earn, and the fruit is to be given to someone else. A householder is said to be a vairagi. He earns, does he do everything only for himself? He comes home and piles everything up, saying, "Come on everyone, this is yours. Now, if you give it to me, I will eat." Who can be said to have a vairagya like that? Does a sadhu have more vairagya or a householder? Huh? It must be us, right? What does a householder understand about vairagya? What do we understand? Does a householder have more vairagya or do we have more? Who has it? None of the vairagyas are speaking at all. Who has more? Do tell. Those people? Then they will all be happy. It is a matter of worry for us. Those people learn to manage. We do not learn to manage. We only learn to work if things are a certain way. And those people do not think that work can only be done if things are a certain way. If someone has no money, do they stop working? So? They still do it. That work is done this way. They learn to manage. Learning to manage is what is called vairagya. Without resources, without facilities, without convenience, if one learns to serve God, then that is called vairagya. It should be just like this. A householder's family members do not learn to manage. His son does not learn. They all get together and teach him. They teach the head of the family, and he learns too. He accepts a lot. We do not accept. Those people learn, "Yes, as you say." "As you say." He does what everyone wants, and makes everyone happy, and then he is happy himself. We are not like that. For us, it is only right if it happens this way, otherwise nothing. Otherwise, here is your home. We are leaving. To Nagpur. Like that. So it becomes difficult. We do not learn to manage.
