Each time we attach ourselves to anything, which is external or internal, we create fears, amongst which the main one is the fear of loss of what I am attached to. The attachment not only gives rise to fear, but also brings with it emotions like anger, ego, sadness, jealousy, greed, comparisons, hatred, etc. All those emotions have their roots in attachment, which gives rise to insecurity and discontentment. Attachment is a sanskar that is so deeply embedded inside our consciousness that it seems normal to us. It is just a sanskar but it has immense amount of power & it manages to imprison us, emotionally, spiritually, but most of the time we do not even realise that we are imprisoned. The negative emotional states connected with this kind of attachment create a state of internal mental pressure or an inner emptiness and make us feel absolutely helpless and emotionally week at times and harm our consciousness negatively. Over a period of many births, we have become so accustomed to attachment, and the various forms of suffering connected with it, that we have started believing that it is an integral part of human personality and human life since the beginning and is, therefore, natural. And so we continue with the sanskar of attachment and even keep strengthening it, never ever thinking that it should be removed. We do this with internal stress, unhappiness to the point that even our health, work and relationships gets affected negatively. The natural state of the self is free and not attached to anything. The present suffering indicates to us that attachment is something abnormal or not natural.
