Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Vairagya, dispassion begins to arise when we acknowledge the changeability of all empirical experience. We are able to begin when we practice good actions to neutralize negative inherited tendencies, Samskaras. According to the Bhagavad Gita, fear of failure can be overcome by reminding ourselves that all good actions yield good tendencies, which will bear fruit either in this life or carry us forward in the future lives. To be able to continue, we must have constant communion with spiritual ideas through good company and study. Verses I.12, I.13
