How to get Detached?

A person asked me”How do I get detached from something I love most?”.I answered “Stop loving them.”He then told me”I Have emotions”.I replied”Love them with detachment. Be dispassionately passionate. 
He replied”I do not understand what you are telling. “.I told him”I also do not understand what my Guru is telling me.The solution for this problem is to chew the cud on this truth and you will soon taste the nectar of wisdom .🙏
