Attachment is a hindrance to spiritual growth as it is the cause of all suffering. When we attach to anything, whether thoughts, beliefs, ideas, concepts, labels, people, places or things, we set ourselves up for disappointment and pain. Anything outside of us is beyond our control and therefore is unpredictable or impermanent.
If we are attached to a relationship and it ends, we may experience emotional pain or suffering. Attachment to anything can stop us from finding happiness elsewhere, or create struggle from refusing to letting go.
Attachment is the root cause of all karma and suffering
Attachment is connected to control, expectations, co-dependency and separation by clinging to something outside of us. Material possessions, wealth accumulation, pleasing others or chasing desires can lead to ego separation and hinder our ability to see the unity that exists in all things.
Attachment is food for entities and hinders our ability to find inner peace, true happiness and real-eyes-ation. When we attach to external things, we are bound to suffer, become distracted or create a false sense of self, based on our possessions or relationships.
It’s only through detachment that we can achieve a state of true spiritual liberation and fulfilment.
