How to get rid of the attachment?

There is talk in many areas of personal growth or spiritual spheres about attachment and its disadvantages and consequences. And what is recommended is not to stick to things or people. It is very correct, but … how can it be carried out? Because it is very easy to say, but how is it done?

In the knowledge of Raja Yoga, the first lesson is: “be conscious of the soul”.

This is “the goose of the golden eggs.”

Make firm the conviction of being the soul within the body.

I have seen kiss a corpse so intensely … and I have felt very sad for the person who did it. It is hard to say goodbye to someone so dear; heis going of our life…, we will not see him anymore, we will not share more with him, and if we had any questions to ask him … we will not be able to do it anymore, and the plate on the table that we will continue to put and that will remain there reminding us that he is no longer … All this becomes difficult to assume. How is it done to not get so attached?

The truth, I can speak of an achievement that I had the first day I went to see a deceased who did not know much (to accompany those who stay). I had gone with fear (I had not seen any), and I did not like the idea of ​​seeing it. And what I saw was an empty doll; there was nothing there, it was like the empty shell of a marine animal. At that time I did not know about spirituality, however, I suddenly realized that this person was absent. It did not produce me fear or pity, because that person there was not there.

This is an example of being conscious of the soul; This was easy because I did not know that person in life very much, therefore there were no ties, there was no attachment that made it difficult for me to get rid of friendship. Attachment is what makes us suffer in all aspects; we do not have to go to the extreme of the duel, day by day it makes us suffer the bond we establish with someone, because reciprocity is expected, and if that is not the case, the problems begin.

If we understand that we are souls that make the body have life, perhaps the attachment will not be so much, since it is the soul the protagonist who does everything, who thinks everything, who creates his family while in that body and when his role it’s over .., it just goes away, we go, whether we talk about the body or talk about the relationship, friendship, etc … If we are aware of it and practice this idea .., maybe the attachment to people, things, work, etc. it will vanish and we can be happier for be free.
