Illusory attachment (moha) is indeed what will keep on biting you until the point of your demise!

Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

You might know that there are two types of attachment in the world. One is the attraction to the opposite sex and the other is attachment to material objects. Both can be considered as attachments and they can be bad or good, depending on your perspective. The word ‘moha’ in Sanskrit means that which makes an object (or person) seem real and valuable.

It also means illusion, ignorance and ignorance of reality. It is a misconception that we cannot get rid of moha. We can get rid of it but it takes effort and time.

The attachment to material objects such as money is one such example where we believe they will make us happy but nothing can make us happier than what we already have, which is our own self-. This attachment is often referred to as moha, which is the root cause for all our unhappiness.
