What is this loving detachment?

Loving detachment

"Truly wise is he who is un stirred by praise or blame , by love or hatred.  He is not moved by the opposites of life.  Verily does he delight in the blissful self." - Srimad Bhagavatam (Source : Sacred Space, Times of India, December 21, 2010).

This line of thinking has always made me think a lot … …. Over and over again. In fact my friends, family and close associates call me as insensitive and non responsive to day today ups and downs in life. May be true … ………………….. it is rare that I cry … ………………….. yeas ……………… people say I have lot of patience ……………………………may be some others may call me as shameless ……………………thick skinned. In the heart of heart I know I am not insensitive ………………I do respond I do feel I do feel bad. The question that haunts is is it necessary that I must be so vocal about my sadness or happiness? But sincerely appreciate those who are vocal about their happiness or sorrows. I think people who express everything openly ……………frankly get lightened…………………….get relaxed then the ones who do not break down on any thing. May be ………………..i should know more about not being moved by opposites of life.  Is it that people don't get moved by opposites or that they really gone above such levels.  At times I have noticed some individuals like my father ….. some times a teacher …..not really responding ………………………………………..reacting much to the tunes of either happy moments or when some mishap happens. Could be when one puts on experience …………………….sees lots of ups and downs of life ……………….this could be the time ………………when one takes every thing easily …………………….. or they have moral balance to face ………………………realize the higher values of life…………………higher levels of ultimate realities of life.  Yes in this regard I need to learn a lot understand a lot with regard to being in blissful state…………………….and I will find time to do that sooner or later.
