This podcast authored by Simant Prakash explores the often-misunderstood concept of Detached Love (Vairagya), differentiating it from simple renunciation of relationships. Drawing on Vedic spiritual scriptures, the author clarifies that Vairagya is about being dispassionate and establishing relationships correctly, not about passively breaking them. The central argument is that attachment is restrictive, akin to being "hand cuffed," while true detachment grants the freedom to actively help others, allowing one's love to act without the clouding influence of impulse or emotional drama. Ultimately, the text defines true love as acting without self-interest for the prosperity of the other, asserting that "Detachment and love goes together."
