How To Remove Attachments?

Remove Attachments


Question:

What does the seeker do when the inner voice urge to cling to attachments?

Question's description:

All good things in life, they say, are either illegal-immoral or sexy. What does a seeker do when his hedonistic inner voice separate him from his highest spiritual aspiration and prevent from moving deeper into harmony with his spiritual goals?

Answer:

Please understand that this inner urge is the urge of your mind and not Your's (Soul).

I understand your problem. This is the stage every seeker encounters. So, it is no exception. Every problem has a solution and if it has no solution then it is not a problem at all.
Here are few tips that can help you.

1. It is right that if you try to get away from something, it will start hounding you. So, instead of thinking of the things that you want to get rid of, just indulge yourself in activities like meditation and studying scriptures. Unentertained thoughts will automatically go. You will experience something higher, and your attachment to those tiny things will automatically vanish. This is a technique which I have practiced into my life and found in Gita.

2. There are certain moments of day and night when negativity act with its full might. I request you to meditate at least 20 minutes twice a day, one in the morning when you get up and one at night before retiring to bed. You can read scripture before night's meditation. This will keep your mind calm throughout the day and even during night.

Religions Are Innocent

Today there is a very popular saying, “Religions divide and spirituality unites”. I have heard this sentence from some learned men as well. Recently, I came across a statement in facebook in which the person had written that the religions keep on creating chaos and if they are not stopped it may lead to something that you can’t think of even. A movie recently released also aims at religions stating that a religion either makes a man weak or a terrorist. In today’s world we are surrounded by numerous luxuries. Today works can be done in amazingly small amount of time with even less implementation of effort. This is making us (with these things) more powerful and efficient and us (without these things) even more weak and lazy. Today we do not have time to think about anything beyond our office and home. In such conditions, if a statement comes to us from whatever source it may come, that is easily accepted by us. It spreads as a jungle fire in the society. And if a statement has come fro...

What Exists And What Not?

Existence has been a very widely discussed topic from times immemorial. It is because, our understanding of what exists and what not helps us to understand that what our actions and efforts should be directed towards. If we long for something that never actually existed, we are sure to land among despair. Only one whose efforts are oriented towards the true existence is worthy of achieving peace and happiness. A child starts crying loud if it’s lovely necklace, which it has got from somewhere and now uses it for its childish game, gets separated into beads. It assumes the necklace as an independent existence. It doesn't know that those small beads are the one that combine to make up its lovely toy. Then its parent again fixes it and the child get surprised and happy again to get back its cradle. The parent doesn't get worried about breaking of the thread, because he sees those beads as the core of the existence of the necklace. The notion is that the parent sees beads as the co...
