To be detached doesn't mean that you become a stone or wooden statue. Being detached means that you have to do what you have to, but that is not important. If you don't have to, or if you can't do it, it is okay, too. If you have to do it, you do it and then forget about it. You don't kill yourself over some problem of the world or a personal setback. You try to solve your problem as best as you can at that moment. Maybe tomorrow you," see things differently, and then you." do it differently. Today, you see it that way, and you do it that way. But then you are not overly grieved about this thing, and you forget it. We do still have sorrow, happiness, stress and all that; but the thing is that we forget it quickly, we overcome it fast.

More detachment comes later; as the days pass by, you become more detached in a very subtle way. So even though sometimes you are angry or you are crying, you feel that you are very detached from that emotion. You still let the emotion show but you are detached from it. In the depths of your heart, you know this is nothing. I can cry, but I can also stop. And why should I stop? Why should I make the effort or trouble to stop? If you need to stop, then you stop; if you need to cry, just cry. You just know that you are in control of that emotion. It is okay. To be detached means that: Okay,you see yourself cry, but then you aren't overwhelmed by it. You let it be. You don't make it a more important issue and cling to that crying or that sadness all the time. Just let it be, and then move on.
