## Right Number Five
[Vairagya-Sam-bhav] From the knowledge of the true nature of existence, and from the vision of non-quality (nirguna), arises aversion. From this aversion, the cutting off of desire, which is the form of dispassion, arises. ||1||
**Meaning:** From the special knowledge of the nature of the world, and from seeing it with the vision of non-quality (emptiness), aversion arises. This aversion, in the form of the cutting off of desire for that world (in the form of birth and death), produces dispassion in the soul. When one has special knowledge of the nature of the world, and sees no quality (essence) in worldly beings, even in the slightest, then dispassion arises quickly. Just as a body that is swollen appears full (nourished), but is actually hollow, so too the world is full of empty pomp, it is devoid of essence, full of suffering, and terrifying. Thus, from aversion to the world, dispassion, in the form of renunciation (cutting off from the world), arises quickly. ||1||
Those who describe dispassion as arising from the attainment of worldly happiness, their opinion is not valid, as long as the true nature of things is not known. ||2||
