Taming attachment, does not mean becoming cold and disinterested. On the contrary, it means learning to have a composed control over our mind through understanding

About This Quote

Attachment is a natural emotion that occurs when we are in love. However, it can become destructive, especially when it grows out of control. It is important to understand the difference between need and attachment. We all need things in life, but our need doesn’t always lead to an attachment.

For example, if you are hungry, you may desire food, but you don’t necessarily attach any value to food. Likewise, the desire for money may make us attach value to money, but our need for money doesn’t automatically make us attach any value to money. When we are attached to something or someone else, our thoughts become focused on that person or object.

We then begin to perceive the object as more real than it actually is. The more we attach ourselves to something or someone else, the harder it becomes for us to let go of that attachment.
