I find a world of Gnostic thought in this small phrase. I find it very similar to the phrase "disinterested compassion", which is something I try to cultivate in my own life. Both phrases remind me not to over identify with what I see around me. They also remind me not to fragment my mind by attaching myself to everything I see.

Cultivate non-attachment, not to be confused with detachment. Be in the world but not of it.
