Detachment is defined as follows: Detachment means “having a natural distaste for the objects of the senses.”

Detachment The senses are always desiring sense enjoyment, but when a devotee develops transcendental love for Kṛṣṇa his senses are no longer attracted by material desires. This state of mind is called detachment.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Commentary

Here detachment is the cause, and distaste is the effect, but they are considered the same in the definition, because, they are mutually dependent.
