- The less one thinks of an object, being or situation the less one gets attached to the same - the opposite is also true: the more we think of an entity the more attached we become
- Just as Prince Arjuna became impotent on the battlefield due to unintelligent identifications with his relatives so too we often become impotent when we give undue importance to objects, beings and situations - all serve a purpose and we have to appreciate what that purpose is, not more nor less
- Objects do not have the characteristic of attachment intrinsic to them - attachment is created entirely by our mind
- Our attachment should be uniform rather than selective - this is unconditional Love
- How ironic that we continue to cling to objects, beings and situations which are forever changing - other than sorrow what do we expect to arise from such thoughtless living
- When we come to appreciate that Joy is within we become independent, empowered - we then go about engaging in our responsibilities in a spirit of service where there are no expectations
- By attaching to the more noble, detachment to the mundane becomes effortless - this is the whole premise of our discussions, to think more and more nobly
