Reference:
Even direct perception of God does not guarantee realization. The material mind and intellect interpret Divine reality according to their conditioning. Only Divine Grace gradually purifies perception and enables true recognition.
The mind cannot naturally love God while it still believes happiness exists in the world of Maya. Detachment weakens this illusion and gradually prepares the mind to turn toward Divine fulfillment.
Detachment removes worldly entanglement, but it does not fully satisfy the soul. The mind cannot remain empty; it continues seeking fulfillment. Worldly attachment must gradually be replaced by Divine attachment.
True detachment does not mean hating the world or suppressing emotions. It means becoming free from attraction and aversion toward Maya. Through repeated contemplation on the temporary nature of worldly life, the mind gradually becomes fit to turn toward God.
