Devotee: How can I do my duties without attachment? There is my wife, there are my children. I must do my duty towards them. Affection is necessary. Am I right?
Ramana Maharishi: How do you do your work in the College?
Devotee: (laughing) For wages.
Ramana Maharishi: Not because you are attached, simply as doing your duty.
Devotee: But my pupils expect me to love them.
Ramana Maharishi: “Detachment in the interior and attachment in appearance,” says Yoga Vasishta.
