Vishaya in general means that which holds your attention. Here we are talking about that which will grab you and take you into life after life. When is anything considered a vishaya? It is considered a vishaya if you become greedy or infatuated with it. Otherwise it is not a vishaya. Therefore, everything you see in this world is not vishaya but if you become greedy or obsessed with it then it is called vishaya.
-Dadashri
Your self is much more important than your shelf.
-Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati
Man must try everything even before the receiving nature discovers that it takes no pleasure in it, and only then will it agree to ask things of the Creator.
-Micheal Laitman, The Kabbalah Experience
Detachment (Asceticism) is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you.
-Ali bin Abi Talib
ليس الزهد ان لا تملك شيئاً لكن الزهد ان لا يملكك شيء
O Earth, my mother! O Wind, my father! O Fire, my friend! O Water, my good relative! O sky, my brother! Here is my last salutation to you with clasped hands! Having cast away infatuation with its wonderful power, by means of an amplitude of pure knowledge resplendent with merits developed through my association with you all, I now merge in Supreme Brahman.
-Verse 100, Vairagya Shatak
