Attaching enslaves you

Detaching frees you

If you are attached to your cellphone, the moment it falls, something in you also falls, U panic, U fear, U lose your mental balance & U cannot make the right choices when imbalanced, Can U?

While if U are detached, which U originally are, U just pick up the phone & do what’s needed next to keep your work going,

which you would anyways have to do even when U were attached, but U waste time, energy & emotions when attached, U harm yourself unnecessarily when there’s no natural harm caused

Isn’t it?

This is just about the cellphone,

Imagine what happens when U attach yourself to people, places, properties, memories & ideologies?

U lose your balance & harm yourself by yourself for a lifetime.

So how to be free of attachment?

Through 2 things – clarity & choicefulness

U need to have this clarity that the places, the things, the people the memories & the ideologies that U relate to are a part of your life but not you nor your life.

U can be grateful for having their presence but don’t need to seek their permanency nor limit yourself to them because everyone has their free will, everything is temporary & impermanent.

& then cultivate what I call choicefulness

Which empowers you to remain constantly aware of your feelings & notice the moment something affects you which would then help you to chose to change it, to drop it, to detach yourself from it using the clarity that U have obtained.
