description: Introduction A mind devoid of detachment cannot sustain on the path of morality or liberation. This detachment should be preferably based in discrimination or reason. All the schools of Indian philosophy that I have discussed here hold this basic position and this is what I would like to prove throughout my thesis. The importance and significance of detachment for the present world is what I have tried to decipher at the end of the thesis. All the previous chapters thus have been used as a constructive argument to build the foundation of this contention. The Advaita-Vedānta philosophy has very emphatically, precisely and convincingly put forward this point, hence, primarily I have tried focus on it in my work. Mind has been called the primary cause of both bondage and liberation depending on attachment and detachment respectively. A detailed analysis of this fact, throughout all the traditions discussed here, has been the objective and endeavor of the work. In the Bhagavadgītā, Arjuna has admitted that mind is fickle, wild, stubborn and strong by nature and its control is as difficult as controlling air. Krishna tells Arjuna that by 'practice and detachment' one can control mind.1 Mind is said to.
