The yogic perspective, the right understanding of Dharma, desires only Dharma, not the objects of desire. It distances itself from them, yet when forced to encounter them due to past karma, it experiences them with detachment and indifference, consuming them without attachment. When the ignorant being experiences them with extreme attachment, it becomes bound again. Thus, the difference between the wise and the ignorant, in their attitude and perspective, is like the difference between heaven and earth. Therefore, the ignorant, constantly desiring objects, becomes bound even though it does not experience them. And the wise, not desiring objects, even though it experiences them, does not become bound! This is a truly astonishing phenomenon. (See pp. 502-504).
Because just as puppets dance due to the strings, so too, the activities of the wise, who do not desire, are driven by the strings of past karma. Therefore, even if they engage in worldly activities like enjoyment, according to the arising of past karma, their minds, like a lotus in water, remain detached and absorbed in their true nature. The wise, residing in the world, appear as if they are manifesting the illusion of enjoyment! And there is no fault in this, even for the purpose of compassion. Thus, the wise yogi, even though they may occasionally, as an exception, reside in the world, in homes, etc., and even though they may experience worldly enjoyment, they do not become bound. And the ignorant, even though they do not experience enjoyment, become bound! This extraordinary fact reveals the profound impact of right knowledge.
The reason why the wise do not become bound even though they experience enjoyment is because they lack attachment and affection. Just as a person who is covered in oil, due to affection, will collect dust while exercising in a dusty gymnasium, but a person who is not covered in oil, due to the absence of oil-like stickiness, will not collect dust; similarly, the ignorant, due to the stickiness of affection, attachment, and passion, collect karmic particles like dust. But the wise, who are devoid of affection, passion, and attachment, like a "strong" person, cannot be bound by karmic particles due to the absence of oil-like stickiness of affection and attachment. Thus, the wise, who are capable, are different. They possess the extraordinary ability to remain detached, like a lotus in water. The foolish ignorant cannot imitate them, and if they try, they will only suffer! "The sharpness of the sword, the feet of the fourteenth Tirthankara; the juggler dances on the edge, but do not let him stay on the edge of the sword." - Shri Anandghanji.
This great feat of remaining completely detached while residing in the world can only be achieved by rare, exceptional, extraordinary wise beings. Walking on such a double-edged sword is a task that is "only for those who are wise in all things, not for the weak!" (See) Shri Samayasar - Ga. 242-246.
