Realizing Attachment And Its Different Types (Part 1)

Realizing Attachment And Its Different Types (Part 1) 

Attachment can be at two levels - either internal or external.

Some common examples of external attachments are attachments to: 


- your own physical body,

- people (their physical body, physical personality, their role of any type, their actions, qualities, specialties or any other sanskars), 

- objects, 

- your position or role in your family, society or in your professional field, 

- money, 

- places, 

- food,

- shopping and physical comforts,

- clothes,

- technology and different mediums of technology,

- the way you look or dress up or present yourself physically or your complete physical personality, 

- a particular skill in action,

- a particular interest or hobby like watching movies, online social networking, etc. 

- your routine or a certain way of working at home or at the workplace,

- respect from others,

- how people see you or behave with you or what they think of you 


and many others. We have mentioned a few examples, which we need to check closely and start overcoming. Spirituality teaches us soul consciousness and also Supreme Soul consciousness. These are the two primary experiences, which empower the soul to overcome external attachments and its different forms, which prevent the soul from experiencing complete freedom.

Message for the day


The one who understands God's love is himself loving too.


Expression: 
The one who understands that God has love for all children, never hates anyone, however negative the other person's charactersitics might be. There is the understanding that it is not the person who is negative, but it is only a negative quality working within that person at that time. A loving person's love discourages the other person to use the negativity and encourages to use the positive qualities instead. 


Experience: When I am connected with God, I am able to experience His love. Once I understand and experience His love, I am able to remain loving too - even with the most difficult people. I am then able to have good wishes for all, understanding that my love will make them positive too. I am never caught up with anyone's negativity, but am always happy as I only interact with positivity.
