The Lord himself is Vitaraag (free from attachment and abhorrence), and when the state completely free of attachment and abhorrence (vitaraagta) towards the world and the body arises in you, then your (spiritual) work will be done.

There are two types of worldly life: renouncing [tyaag] is a worldly life and family life [gruhasti] is also a worldly life. Those who renounce are constantly in the knowledge of ‘I am renouncing…I am renouncing’. And the family man prevails in the knowledge of ‘I am acquiring…I am taking…I am giving’. But the one, who attains knowledge of the self [soul], will attain liberation (moksha). Where does one acquire Knowledge of the Self? From the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the Enlightened One].

To incessantly See 'what is happening' is the ultimate saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence). The state of these Gnanis (those who are Self-realized) is considered as saiyam.

The world has not seen the equanimity (sambhaav) of the Gnanis (enlightened Ones) at all. In fact, the Gnani has a state of absolute detachment (vitaraagata) in attachment (raag). The people of the world look for vitaraagata in vitaraagata. Actually, one should have vitaraagata in raag.

Attachment (raag) is also karmic stock filled in the past life (bharelo maal) and so is dispassion for worldly life (vairaagya). The state of absolute detachment (vitaraagata) is the main thing.
