Swamy Dattatreya on Attachment
Attachment is the cause of both sorrow and happiness. It is
because of the knowledge I gave to you that the ‘mist of attachment’ has
disappeared from your heart. A small sprout of ego ultimately develops into a
huge tree of ignorance. Affection is the trunk of this tree. Home and family
are the branches and wife and children are the leaves of this tree. Wealth and
cereals are the flowers and happiness and sorrow are the fruits of this tree.
Relation that emerges out of affection is the canopy of this tree. This tree
grows day by day and obscures the path of liberation. This tree is full of
desires and those who sit under the lee of this tree can never attain
salvation.
