Q: If we are dispassionate in life then we won’t remain ambitious in life. To what extent is this true?
Answer: I don’t use the word dispassion much because it has been distorted so much. I have seen so called dispassionate people who have no glow or happiness on their face. Dispassion means absence of any kind of feverishness but a joy is there. Adi Shankaracharya has beautifully said that there is no joy which dispassion cannot give you. Dispassion means - You don’t run after joy but you are joyful from within. When you do actions without feverishness, that is dispassion.
