What is the relationship between devotion to the Guru and achieving a state of detachment?

The text establishes a direct and essential link between devotion and detachment. According to Chapter 46, loving devotion to the Guru is the very foundation of 'Dharma' or righteousness. It is through this heartfelt devotion that the higher spiritual states are achieved. The scripture makes it clear that if devotion is performed with heart and soul, then Peace, Detachment, and Fame are always under the devotee's control. Detachment is not sought as a separate goal but arises as a natural consequence of deep devotion. As righteousness awakens through devotion, detachment follows, and the devotee's aversion to worldly objects becomes supreme.
