All about ‘Moh and Maya’: How can humans rise above it | The Times of India

Rishis and sages, through years and years of practice, dhyaan, sadhna, and jaap rise above the attachments and illusions of the world.
They achieve a sense of inner peace, calm, and awareness that helps them rise above illusions and desires. Through deep meditation and mindfulness, they detach themselves from the changing material world and connect with their true self. Rishis and sadhus practice tapas by controlling their senses and mind, avoiding the pleasures that will come and go, and reducing their desires and attachments. Also, with time, they develop the sentiment of ‘Vairagya’, which means living in the world but staying unaffected by the pains and pleasures it gives.
