When a person is disgusted with the temporary, illusory nature of this world and is thus detached from it, his mind, guided by the instructions of his spiritual master, considers again and again the nature of this world and eventually gives up the false identification with matter.
Purport
Although it is difficult to control the mind, by constant practice the mind can be spiritualized in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A sincere disciple constantly remembers the instructions of his spiritual master and thereby faces again and again the stark truth that the material world is not the ultimate reality. By detachment and perseverance the mind gradually gives up its propensity toward sense gratification; thus illusion loses its grip on a sincere Kṛṣṇa conscious devotee. Gradually the purified mind completely gives up the false identification with this world and transfers its attention to the spiritual platform. Then one is considered to be perfect in the yoga system.

Translation
When a person, considering what has been said, becomes disgusted with the world and detached from it by contemplating the subject with analysis, his mind gives up its false identity with the body.
Ukta-vedinaḥ means “of a person who has reviewed what has been spoken.”

Personal Guidance
Disgusted with the temporary world and detached, the mind, guided by the guru, considers its nature repeatedly and gives up false matter-identification. Repetition is the engine.
Reflection Questions
- How often do I return to first principles of detachment, or only when in crisis?
- What rhythm of return would serve me?
