Viveka and Vairagya-
Viveka means the sifting of the real from the unreal; and Vairagya,
indifference to the objects of the world.
They do not come all on a sudden; they have to be practised daily.
'Woman and gold' have to be renounced, first mentally, and God willing, they should be renounced afterwards both internally and externally.
It is said in the Gita that by Abhyasa Yoga (continuous practice of meditation) dislike for 'woman and gold' is engendered.
Continuous practice brings to the mind extraordinary power; then one feels no difficulty in subjugating the senses, passions and lust.
It is like a tortoise that never stretches out its limbs, once it has drawn them in. Even if you cut it to pieces, it would never stretch them out.
