[Antarananda]

The truly detached ones are the Buddhas and enlightened Masters of this world. They don't run around trying to "manifest" stuff. That's not to say that all are passive; in fact my own spiritual Master is just 29, and more dynamic than anyone else I have ever met. Yet, he is just as relaxed and detached and blissful now as he was in his early days staying in a little hut in south India, despite speaking and teaching and traveling engagements that keep him busy practically every day of the year.

I truly believe that developing the state where you are operating from your inner bliss as the locus of control, rather than focusing on outer manifestation, is the way to total success, both in the material world as well as the spiritual. Meditation and "letting go" emotionally are the tools to achieve that equipoise where one is in the world, but not of the world.
