Is it possible to love without attachment? We do have so much love to give,but is it right kind of love? We tend to feel a kind of ownership over all that we
love though we don’t own anything or anyone.
It is easy to utter the words “I love you” than to actually mean it.Love is perceived in many ways.”love,but never be possessive of what you love.Once you are possessive,you might claim,this is mine.When in actuality nothing or no one is yours.”
We all are here on a spiritual journey.Along the way we find many co-travellers who become part of our lives but they too have their own destination.There
is a hierarchy of love.Right on the top are parents,spouse,children,other family members and friends.Universal love is not easy to follow but may be we could try.For starters,we could do little things that make people smile.A kind word or tone would not take away from you but give a lot to the other person.
“If you want peace and happiness,you must live in love.Only through love will find inner peace and happiness.Love flourishes through giving and forgiving.Develop your love,immerse yourself in love”.”Love is the basis of every thing.It is the single most important quality that has to be developed.All your thoughts must become immersed in this quality of love.Then truth will naturally established itself in your heart.”
People who served are God like;there service should be appreciated,whether they belong to your peer group or not.We need to learn to love without attachment.We love those who we feel are ours.What about the rest? Why is an amazing emotion like love saved only for those few people who we perceive as ours? For instance,how might one learn to love the person who has wronged us? I guess i would say OK,don’t love,but at least try not to hate.That is an improvement.
Things can never bring you happiness.Once you have bought something,its value diminishes.At first i used to think that was not true,but in the time i learnt
that it is one of few truths in life.I constantly try and make an effort to not to get attached to “Things” now because at the end of the day they are things.This doesn’t mean don’t shop,etc.It means realise that actual happiness can not be attained from anything external.
Enjoy all the things you have and be grateful for it,as that too is the grace of God but do not expect it to give you anything.I find my peace every evening as i sit by myself and watch the sunset.That is when i feel real joy.The sunset with such ease and that is how we should be.
I would get attached to songs and smells,some smells can take back in time and songs too can transport you old memories.It is nice to remember but if we
dwell on the past we are missing out on the present;we tend to miss out on new smells and songs as we are so preoccupied with the old.We have to let
go,because holding on to something does not give us ownership rights.
In other words,”We have to practice loving detachment.”
