Response:

Non-attachment is a state where awareness knows itself, it is not defined or bound by the thoughts, feelings and perceptions it has. The state of ignorance is an unconscious mode of awareness that sees itself as defined, limited and controlled by external events and the objects of experience. The former state of consciousness is free, joyful and self-directing. The latter one is constricted, and one’s happiness or suffering is a function of whatever life happens to bring their way. If you are self-realized and your awareness is free from the pain of the past and fear of the future, then you are non-attached and not in a state of ignorance.
