Absolutely. Detachment has nothing to do with the external world. It is a state of mind. Detachment comes from independence. When you are strong enough to be by yourself, you don’t need to lean on people. When you are no longer dependent on the world or any person or thing in the world, then you are in a detached state of mind. With this state of detachment, you have the luxury of establishing wonderful relationships with people, acquiring objects from the world, possessing the best in the world, but never getting caught up with it. You should not get so entangled in possession that you allow the world to affect you. This is the life that you should aspire for.
