Vairagya (Non-attachment)

Strive towards increasing your non-attachment. Put forth your
efforts in the right direction. Then what is the power of
Mohaniya karma and infatuation? How can you blame it?
The absence of your efforts in increasing non-attachment is
solely to blame.

Infinite souls crushed their karmas and infatuation by

channelizing all their efforts towards strengthening and
internalizing non-attachment. Eventually they renounced the
world, accepted celibacy and attained salvation. Why can’t
you do so?

Your soul also has infinite power. Find it and draw upon.
Utilize it to intensify your non-attachment.

Futility of religious activities devoid of non-attachment.

You need to understand

Without attempting to increase Vairagya, all the activities of
donation, celibacy, penance are sure to invite unwanted
desires.
