Can you be selective?

There was a post regarding Shani and the trouble it seem to bring on people (this post was later deleted by the op) and the op had asked if s/he becomes detached from the pain and let it go, will Shnai stop troubling?

It is an absurd assumption. Detachment cannot be selective. If you get detached then it means that even in times of happiness and joy you will have to be detached. If the joys and pleasures cause attachment then the troubles that come from them cannot be experienced in a detached manner. Detachment has to be complete and all applicable to all situations. Masters say that if you desire a rose, you cannot escape the thorn.

Then again i had given the example of the Mandhaara mountain on Sri Koorma's back. This mandhaara is just not the weight of only the grief, sorrow, struggle etc but it is also the weight of the joys, pleasure sensations, the wanting to enjoy everlasting pleasant experiences.

Sir Akuupaara can help you in holding up this weight on your back with fortitude and detachment.

My salutations to Sri Akuupaara.
