VAIRAGYA

In Vedanta, the term vairagya refers to freedom from desire, dispassion, and detachment from the world. 

Two forms of vairagya are found:  apara, or lower vairagya, denotes detachment from the objects of pleasure, while para, or higher vairagya, denotes detachment from nature as such, in its primordial condition.

Vairagya is conceived as a fire, for the individual in such a state experiences a burning agony in the least contact with sense objects and worldly things.
