Detachment has been explained as an effective tool in controlling the modifications of the Mind in the last sloka (1.15)
As I have explained in the post, Performance of Action without attachments is possible..
We do not get attached to the Routine actions we perform.
But actions we perform after deliberation?
Why and how we deliberate to perform an action and become attached to them.
We perceive an object , we get attracted.
We want to experiences them because we are curious,others have told us it is pleasurable.
We try them out.
We find the experiences either pleasurable or painful.
Based on this we like or detest them.
In the case of the former , we yearn for them, recalling in the Mind the pleasures it had given us, just as vehemently we hate that which gave us pain.
This yearning becomes attachment:hate is also an attachment for irrespective of what your feelings are, you are constantly engaged with the object in your mind.
If you do not get what you seek, you take action to get it, these create further thought waves in the Mind.
So, to control these cravings one must cease attaching himself to objects.
But the fact is we can not help being attracted and consequently being attached to the Objects.
We might even consciously want to avoid them.
Why are we attracted to Objects?
It is Our Nature.
We have inborn tendencies and qualities that make us attracted to sense objects,
