Practice of non-attachment and abandonment in yoga philosophy

Let go of stress and live

Modern society is changing and complicated at an unprecedented speed. Overload of information, increased competition, and constant demands for self-development put a great burden on our minds and creates chronic stress, anxiety, and sometimes hopelessness. We are under pressure to constantly pursue something and achieve something, we lose sight of our true self, and are even struggling to seek peace of mind.

Under these circumstances, the teachings of yoga philosophy provide us with deep insights and practical solutions. In particular, the concepts of "unattachment (Viragya)" and "abandonment (tiyaga)" are the compass for surviving modern society, and are key to letting go of stress and living a more fulfilling life.

The path to self-realization in non-attachment and abandonment and yoga philosophy

In yoga philosophy, non-attachment and abandonment are essential elements to achieving true self-realization (samadhi). This is a process in which you let go of your overly obsessive attachment to material things, emotions, and thoughts and realize the essence of your self. Non-attachment refers to letting go of desire or obsession for an object, and abandonment refers to the conscious discarding of unnecessary or harmful things.

At first glance, non-attachment and abandonment may seem like asceticism or escapism. However, these concepts in yoga philosophy are not merely negative actions. Rather, it is a positive action to free yourself and gain true freedom. By letting go of our obsession, we can objectively grasp reality and make better judgments, without being at the mercy of the waves of emotions. And by throwing away the unnecessary things, we can focus our energy and tackle more important things.

Maha Avata Babaji's teachings and practical guidelines for non-obsession

The saint of yoga, Mahaavatababaji taught him not to be attached to material things or objects of human desires. That does not mean that you should not obtain or possess any material. Babaji preached that we should not obey the desire to gain or experience something, and not be obsessed with fleeting pleasures or anguish.

Babaji's teachings provide specific guidelines on how we can practice non-obsession in our daily lives. Understanding the truth that experiences are temporary and change and disappear, we can let go of our obsession with our object. When we are ruled by our desire for an object, our freedom is limited, creating negative feelings such as competitiveness, greed, fear and jealousy of others.

According to Mahaavatababaji's philosophy, "True freedom is achieved only when a person eliminates their attachment and desires to sense objects." When you are in a state of unattachment, "there is nothing to seek or protect, and a person can relax in inner peace, be free to devote themselves to others, and find satisfaction, happiness and salvation in life."

When you hear the word "non-obsession," you might imagine that you don't get anything, but that's not the case. Wealth, power and great talent can naturally be acquired by serving from the inner centre. Babaji's teachings do not deny us to pursue material wealth, but encourage us to change the motivations and methods of pursuing that.

The modern significance of conflict and non-obsession with social values

In modern society, the opposite of non-attachment is considered to be good. Having many desires and having many things is the proof of success and a way of life that satisfies you. Advertising, the media, and society as a whole encourage us to constantly want something and own something.

But is that really true? If you are trapped in success or ideals, you will suffer from the gap between your ideals and your current self, and will increase your stress. If you are under stress, it may be because you are too attached to your ideal.

If you weaken your desires and attachment forces, you will notice that the proportion of peace in your heart will increase. We need to listen to our inner voice and distinguish between what we really need and our socially instilled desires. The practice of non-obsession allows us to free ourselves from the slaves of consumer society and live our lives based on our own values.

Practice of non-obsession and concrete methods in daily life

It may be difficult to achieve a goal of complete non-obsession, but just realizing that it is the ultimate goal will help you live a balanced life. Here are some specific ways to practice non-obsession in everyday life.

1. Meditation and Mindfulness Meditation is a powerful tool to objectively observe thoughts and emotions and not be trapped by them. Through mindfulness meditation, we can practice realizing our emotions and thoughts and letting go.
   
2. Cultivate gratitude and be grateful can help us reduce desires and frustration by focusing on what we already have. By practicing writing down what we are grateful for every day, our state of mind gradually changes.
   
3. Organizing your possessions/Organizing your physical possessions is the first step to letting go of your mental attachment. By throwing away unnecessary things, we can let go of past memories and regrets and incorporate new energy.
   
4. Serving and serving others can help you overcome self-centered thinking and deepen your connections with others. Helping people in need and participating in volunteer work will help us to be free from our problems and have a greater sense of purpose.
   
5. Encountering with nature and spending time in nature helps us relieve us from the stress of everyday life and regaining peace of mind. By touching on the beauty and grandeur of nature, we can recognize the smallness of our existence and let go of our obsession.
   
6. By consciously reducing consumption, avoiding unnecessary consumption, and trying to buy only what is truly necessary, we can reduce our attachment to the material. Additionally, by choosing environmentally friendly products and practicing recycling and reuse, we can pursue a more sustainable lifestyle.
   
7. Letting go of perfectionism and perfectionism puts excessive pressure on us and causes stress. Rather than seeking perfection, we strive to do our best and accepting mistakes and mistakes will help us feel more peaceful.
   
8. Distance from SNS - Social media brings convenience to our lives, but also can cause stress and anxiety due to overcomparison and information from others. By regularly leaving social media and having time to face your inner self, you can regain peace of mind.

Summary: The true richness of non-obsession and abandonment

Non-attachment and abandonment are not merely philosophical concepts, but practical ways in which we can lead a happier and more fulfilling life. By letting go of our obsession with material things, emotions, and thoughts, we are free, regaining peace of mind, and achieving true self-realization.

Modern society constantly encourages us to want something and own something, but what we really need is within us. Through the practice of non-obsession, we can listen to our inner voice and find something truly valuable.

As also noted in the Babaji story Non-obsession is not about us losing anything, but the path to truly abundance.
