Love and Attachment

Posted by flashstorm on July 26, 2010 at 3:22pm
Many people, (most people) confuse love with attachment, or desirous attachment. They get feelings of love from being with someone and conclude that their love depends on that person being in their life, being with that person, or a need for that person. The deep affection that they have towards that person, generates feelings within that are magnified when they are around the person. The problem comes when they have to inevitably depart from the person in one way or another. The feeling of love they had is broken, because their love depends on their attachment to that person. Involved in this type of desirous attachment is a very clearly defined sense of self and other, and of self as dependent on other. In essence separation and the desire to be united with the one they love from whom they are separated, hence the attachment to that person. This is a sad state of affairs, because love is so much more than this. True love is free of attachment, or the ego desire to be gratified in one way or another by someone or something external to self. True love recognizes that you are already one with that person and that no matter where you are or what that person is doing, you are with them. So there is no need for attachment. True love recognizes also that the blissful feelings of love come from within and are not dependent on another person. Love should not be confused with the human need for intimacy with those whom we have deep affection. Attraction, affection, intimacy and togetherness are all good and well and they lead to love. Yet when love is realized fully, it recognizes that it can't be bound, or contained by conditions. It is unconditional and free and it is free to unite with anything or anyone for it is one with all things. Attachment is a teacher whose master is Separation. The lesson is We must be free to love without ego and without conditions. The test is to let the one you love go, perhaps to find happiness with another and to be totally happy for them. For your love is infinite and without limitations and comes from a source that is eternal and ever new.
