Bairaag


BAIRAAG

BAIRAAG, (Also spelled as Vairaag), is state of non-attachment and dispassion. It is distaste for the world and life and cessation of attraction to objects of mind’s attachment. It this state, a being has only one wish: to know, to see, to be one with God.

“My mind is in the state of bairaag for the sight of my Master and Friend God.”

(Guru Granth Sahib, p 369).

When one realizes God and remains immersed in Him, one attains bairaag (Guru Granth Sahib, p 390).

Those who are imbibed with the Name of God are true bairaagis (Guru Granth Sahib, p 1246).

(Dr Harjinder Singh Dilgeer)
