Attachment-a feeling of love or emotionally close to or strong connection to someone or something.Detachment- a feeling of not being emotionally involved.Attachment and detachment both are important.They give us experience and knowledge and we grow and evolve.Our evolution is guided by different kinds of process.We are learning,growing and progressing all the while.
Being able to connect with someone emotionally is never a bad thing.As a human,it's in your nature.However, there is a limit to when that emotional attachment is healthy and when it's harmful and unhealthy.It's clearly mention in The Bible Gal.5:19-24 says "Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels,dissensions, factions,envy,drunkenness,carousing,and things like these.I am warning you,as I warned you before:those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.By contrast,the fruit of the spirit is love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,
generosity,faithfulness,gentleness and self- control.There is no law against such things.And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
Have you ever felt attachment with the sky,earth,the sun or moon,trees and plants.We feel attachment with material things,in relationships,both of which are of mental,vital and physical nature.Attachment means that you get connected with something because of its attraction.Your senses give you information which creates some attraction and with it some contact is established. You start feeling a harmonious pressure when the information given by your senses is reinforced with your contact with something and you get attached to that.It is a pressure of feelings.
The same pressure transforms into detachment sometimes,and then you start feeling different kind of pressures.With pressure, layers of ignorance break a little bit and then we become more aware,more conscious.So,give different kinds of names to pressures. When it is harmonious,you call it attachment.When it is not harmonious,you call it detachment.When you get attached to your breath,you always want to listen to your breath,want to feel your breath,this attachment can give you enlightenment.
All life is attachment.When your attachment with something becomes hundred percent,it immediately becomes detachment. Suppose you are very attached to sweets.One day you will start eating sweets for breakfast,lunch and dinner,and then the hundred percent attachment will detach you.You will not even like to think about sweets after that.
The idea of all these lessons is that we should not live with attachments and detachments, but we should learn to live with con-sciousness.Our senses,mind,body,emotions,mental,vital and physical natures are like children.When you want to educate them, you put yourself into a kind of discipline to force your senses to follow this discipline.They refuse it,they don't want it,they revolt,
and you slowly convince them with love,anger,anything.You train them,teach them and educate them.This process is dedication.
Suppose you want to eat sweets but you want to avoid it.You try not to eat sweet.The sweets is there for one month,but you are making an effort not to eat it.That is dedication.When you make an effort-with certain intentions,with full clarity,full understanding-to become stronger than the things that affect you,this process is call dedication.
In everyone's life, we are too attached to our family,father,mother,brother,sister etc.so on.It is certain that one day or other we have to leave in this world,we become a memory and detached from all.Even often we can see diverse often. One way or other directly or indirectly, attachment and detachment is a part and parcel of every once life.
