The trap of emotion!

If you ever stop and observe, you will find yourself in the middle of an ocean called emotion! Even to a stranger, a stray animal, a celebrity, a movie character... to every one, we become attached! We start imagining their lives and connect our lives with them... After watching a movie... we keep thinking about it... making our own stories... finding similarities with our own life, etc. But is all this right? The answer is a clear no! We are not here to get attached to people and things rather to get out of the attachments that already exist! We need to work towards detachment and not to get deeper into the ocean of attachment. If you see a beggar, instead of pitying, one should say a true prayer for him. Watching a movie should be kept to only watching and not relating with it! You may do selfless service for stray animals or beggars or anyone in need but without getting attached to them. One should pray for their betterment with a true heart, this is what our true responsibility is! Attachment will only increase our karmas resulting into more of karmas. But detachment will only to resolving of these karmas! Detachment is not to leave our relations or isolate ourselves from the world. Detachment is to leave expectations, to become a source of unconditional love, to serve the universe and its creations selflessly, to accept everyone the way they are! One must work gradually towards these rather than getting attached! Our goal is to get out of the trap of emotions and be a source of unconditional love!
