It is very difficult to divert the mind to higher, superior values without--(1) discarding blind attachment to silly things, (2) developing detachment to objects.

But it is not correct to give too much importance to detachment to objects as seen in Buddhism, this may block the interest in life  and enthusiasm of the seeker.

 Look at Vedanta Acharya's sharp observation  --1. extraordinary  attachment to objects, 2. unhealthy outward look . Acharya detach the seekers from the  above two and directs them to lead a life of service to the world, and to develop healthy inward look.

 Through out the life, spending valuable time for body worship, earn wealth for the comforts of the body,  the mankind is immersed  in this meaningless activities. Pity, and how sad it is? Is this body ever remain in the same form? Today's youthfulness and skills never be same tomorrow, old age and weakness shortly follow, within short time and without any delay body becomes useless, remember this!

 Live for body and its pleasures is the Samskaram of Asuras [demons]. 

 Even wife is afraid of her husband's dead body, soon. Hence live with the awareness,  
this is the healthy life, and is the way to reduce sufferings of life.
THIS IS THE DHARMAM [LAW/RULE/DUTY] OF BODY,SAREERA DHARMAM .

25/02/2019 1. INTRODUCTION : 6. 6.1 Taking the opening stanza as a refrain or chorus to be chanted for emphasis at the end of following verses, tradition has it that the immediately following twelve stanzas were given out by the Acharya himself. They together go under the name Dwadasa Manjarika Stotram. Very contagious must have been the Teacher inspired mood and the exploding poem, that each of his followers, at that time in his company, considered a stanza of his own, and they together stand under the title Caturdasa Manjarika Stotram. After listening to all verses, Sankaracharya blesses all true seekers of all times in the last four stanzas. 6.2 This set of thirty one stanzas, together titled Moha Mudgara, has been very popular in our country. It is but natural that it gets published again and again by various institutions and, slowly, different types of readings get to be equally popular. Some of the alternative readings we have noted here and there in our commenta
