In Gyaan Nugget # 93, Dispassion is referred to as an attribute in which one engages fully in any task dynamically yet remains unaffected by the results of any action. A dispassionate person is one who gives 100% in whatever role he or she plays irrespective of the time and place. Vairagya is the synonym for dispassion in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit.

Imagine you are responsible for the operation and maintenance of an electron microscope in a Research Laboratory.
