Thank you.
So, how can we be udasi, detached? By chanting sometimes if we feel good then we want to feel good. Isn’t it? And if we feel bad, if we don’t feel like chanting we don’t want to feel like that. See, again Krishna says udasi, detached.
Detached is different from unemotional or heartless. See, detached means not that we don’t feel any emotions rather detached means our actions are not determined by our emotions. Detached doesn’t mean not to feel any emotions detached means that our actions are not determined by our emotions alone.
So, naturally as devotees we would like to feel devotion when we are practicing bhakti. When we are going in front of the deities we would like to feel some sweet feeling, some devotional feeling but if I don’t feel like it that doesn’t mean that I will not go in front of the deities. Whether I feel like it or I don’t feel like it I will go towards Krishna.
So, detached means that not that we have no feelings or not that we don’t desire the good feelings but detached means that our good actions are not conditional to our good feelings. We do the right thing whether we feel like it or not.
