Attachment and Suffering
You
are eternal, but you are not aware of this, which is why you get
carried away by storms of emotions – like misery, happiness. This is
because you are caught up in attachment. It may be attachment towards
your children, your husband or wife, your friends, or toward wealth, or
anything else.It is because you are caught in attachment, you are not able to recognize your true Self. In such moments, your situation seems to be so big to you that you are unable to see anything else.
For example, one whose mind is feverish about money can think of nothing else. He cannot think of his relationships, his friends and family, not even his own health and wellbeing. Such a person ends up losing everything because of being stuck in attachment. Brothers fight among themselves because of money. Children fight with their parents because of money.
Even attachment to religion brings misery. All suffering happens because of attachment.
