Detachment

Detachment means to erase something but actually we cannot erase what we did [laughs]. If you feel as if you've wiped up everything you delude yourself. But when you are completely absorbed in your activity or in your everyday life, you experience this kind of development of your life, in your life force. -------------------------------- Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-06-28 as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
