Attachment and peace are not compatible.
Because attachment is bondage . And souls are freedom seeking.
It stands to reason that as long as I
consider anything as "mine", I will always think of something as
"yours" , too. And the conflict of mine and yours takes away peace.
What IS mine ? Actually, nothing . Yes, I
am holding onto the illusion that all I have is mine. The children are mine.
The family is mine. The friends are mine. Etc. And then start the expectations
as well.
We are actually caretakers. Nothing and no
one belongs to us. The sooner we know this, the better life will be and the
more we can deal with life with wisdom and a fair amount of detachment.
If we don't detach with understanding, we
will have to suffer and ultimately, be compelled to detach. So, Looked at from
different angles , there IS no peace with attachment.
