Love for Detachment - Economic Times

I often wonder: is it possible to love without attachment? My mother would say, ‘Love, but never be possessive of what you love. Once you are possessive, you might claim ‘this is mine’ when, in actuality, nothing or no one is yours.’

We are all here on a spiritual journey. Along the way, we find several co-travellers who become part of our lives, but they, too, have their own destination. There is a hierarchy of love. Right on top are parents, spouse, children, siblings, other family members and friends. Love stops here and further down the ladder it becomes ‘like’. Sri Sathya Sai Baba says love all as if your own. He talks of universal love. This is not easy to follow but maybe we could try. For starters, we could do little things that make people smile. A kind word or tone would not take away from you but give a lot to the other person.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba says, ‘If you want peace and happiness, you must live in love. Love flourishes through giving and forgiving. Develop your love! Immerse yourself in love.… Love is the single most important quality that has to be developed. All your thoughts must become immersed in this quality of love.’

People who serve are Godlike; their service should be appreciated, whether they belong to your peer group or not. We need to learn to love without attachment. Why is an amazing emotion like love saved only for those few people who we perceive as ours?
