Forty Nine Non-attachment
1. A spiritual aspirant should neither cherish a desire to live
nor long for death. He should remain neutral and have no attachment for life as well as death.
- Ācā. Sū. 1.8.8.4
2. A person who is detached, though living in the world, is
not affected by it, just as the leaf of the lotus is not moistened by water.
— Utta. Sū. 32.47
3. Nothing is impossible in this world for a person who is free from all desires.
— Utta. Sū. 19.45
4. He who is passionately fond of beauty will come to un
timely ruin; just as an impassioned moth drawn by the lure of light rushes into death.
– Utta. Sū. 32.24
5. As long as there is no renunciation ( absolutely ) free from
(any ) expectation, the monk cannot have purification of mind; how can he annihilate the karmas, when he is impure in mind ?
- Pra. Sā. 3.20
6. A person who has attachment, cannot renounce the world.
— Br. Bhā. 3385
7. Serene one! give up all expectations, desires and prodigality.
