What is the second technique of vairagya (detaching) specifically about? As in Buddhism, the purpose of detachment (1.15) is to stop the cravings. Detachment is about dropping our attachments (clinging/desires). It sounds good, but again the reader must ask, how do we actually do this?
Several interpretations are possible. One interpretation is that the same methods used for abhyasa (repetitive practice – see above 1.33-39) can by used to achieve vairagya (detachment). I.e. the two practices of Nirodha-yoga are using the same methods. This would fall in line with presumed Buddhist roots. But detachment (vairagya) could also be achieved through the methods of tapas and svadhyaya (chanting of scriptures) from the kriya-yoga of chapter 2 – but is it plausible to mix and match notions from various parts of the YS?
