WHAT DOES ATTACHMENT IMPLY?
One of the things that could bring so much pain to us is Attachment to those we love. A mind free of the attachments is a bliss and a truly free mind. Attachments or entanglements with our wives, husbands, children, job, properties, recreation, and the rest of it, could really be a sure path to experiencing pain and suffering in our lives. We may naturally love these attachments, which in itself is sensationally wonderful.
But, untill we “destroy” our attachments with these very things psychologically, not physically, we are bound to experience some pains in any eventuality – and sometimes this pain is so severe it shatters our lives.
These attachments are like our breath. We breath to live. We hold this “life activity” so dear, because biologically and psychologically, we are conditioned to it (breathing) for our very life.
However, conjecture holding your breath for a long period of time. It’s apparent that you might suffocate and perhaps pass out.
So, what you do, is to let out breath in order to live. Same applies to everything we have developed strong attachments for, which could even mean our life. If we hold on to them, without a shadow of wanting them to go, especially if need be, we might suffocate and even lose our life – our sanity and actuality as humans.
