Attachment of all kinds, when deeply studied, is hollow, as both our body and the objects around have no independent status. Mind alone imbues relevance to them. Mind wields the body and causes all activities and interactions, whose outcome falls on the mind itself. Should you then care for the inner mind, or be enmeshed in outer objects? Attachment taints the mind, making it dense, distorted. When freed, the same mind, imbibing expansion and joy, becomes the very Self!
