When the mind looses all longings towards objects seen heard or described, it acquires a state of utter dispassion which is called Detachment.

This state is not a condition of indifference but a state of contentment within oneself which is developed by practice and passing through the stages of Yatamana, Vyatireka and Ekendriya.

Continuous attempt to abstain from sensuous enjoyment together with observation of the innate pressure to go for it is Yatamana.

By continuous practice one will successfully get over some of the sensuous desires by proper understanding of its roots and gradual and natural renunciation of passion results. This is called Vyatireka.

Though the communication with the external objects of pleasure vanishes to a larger extent the seed of this tendency remains sharper and deeper in the consciousness and this condition is called Ekendriya as it is staying not with different senses but with its root sense the Mind.

When such a detachment is effected it could be possible to train the mind not to look for anything. Whatever is present before it will be seen as it is with both the pain and pleasure content in it at the same time.

Mind starts to naturally withdraw from going into it and stops such activities. Mind without activity is no mind at all as the mind exists only in activity. When the mind drops off the Seer starts to delve in itself.

Vairagya can go to the extent of suprime detachment or para vairagya where in there comes detachment to the Gunas or the constituent principles.
