We all are attached to things around us. As soon as we are born we start getting attached. First attachment to mother, then to surroundings and this body. Anything happening to this body we feel is happening to us. The limit of attachment comes,w hen we are attached to small things around us like car, a house made up of bricks and cement and there is no limit after that. Few days back, I was reading in news paper about a murder, which happened because one person scratched someone’s car by mistake and the car owner killed the other person. The attachment was given so that you can overcome that nd rise above that. if you are given no attachment, how will you know what you have to overcome. So don’t question if attachment is there, there has to be a purpose, it is, so that you can break it. Any attachment gives a feeling of possession, my body, my home, my family, my friend, my car….this feeling of mine and belongingness is temporary as its limited only to this body and this feeling gives ego, it helps us in thinking that we have this, we have that. Someone has a small car and he thinks he has a car, so it gives an ego, then someone has a big home and then again it gives a feeling of ego, even the knowledge gives ego, as you think, i know this..that’s attachment to knowledge, everyone thrives on attachment and thus lives with ego, ego stops us from surrendering…and until we surrender, we cant rise higher in life as ego would keep holding us back…so if you want to rise higher, become selfless, let the self dissolve, let the ego dissolve, how, its very simple, yet very difficult, simple as it is in your hand, difficult because you cant blame someone else…just let go…when you let go..then you enjoy freedom, freedom from attachment and ego…
