Love without attachment is the true sign of self-acceptance and self-love. It's only when we accept and love ourselves that we can love freely.

[@patsiebentley111]

Well said !

[@nelsonsequeira1495]

But then how would this work when two people (man and woman) live together. Just my curiosity

[@lightofall]

True but with another you still need secure attachment

[@everything_u_need1072]

No one is permanent Everyone is suffering on their own world U can't control anyone If you love someone in the way of attachment you get hurt, If you love someone without attachment you love your own life ❤🙏

[@Angellove222]

If you love someone enough to let them go you love unconditionally and have that persons best interests at heart, it still gonna hurt if they choose another but you have to feel the pain heal it and let it go ❤

[@trinasikananu9723]

True words

[@Angellove222]

@trinasikananu9723 it's not easy when you are connected deep at soul level and feel what they are going through, it's not easy when your souls are one

[@trinasikananu9723]

@@Angellove222 Yes however nothing is easy but you can become the best version of yourself which personally i have attained. I lost 3 friendships my literal life and it was too easy because i taught myself how to love unconditionally enough to let go like you said. I am very much okay and wishing them the best. 22 yo old me would cry myself to sleep. 25 yo me now is free happy and willing to love a hundred times💜

[@Angellove222]

@trinasikananu9723 I am not sure you understand being so connected at a soul level!!! I am not sure you understand when you are woken in the night by the other person's feelings of worry and despair, so much that it effects your mood!! You can't detach from that!!!

[@hsmint]

Love: you need to be happy Attachment: you need to make me happy

[@debbietodd8547]

When you come from a childhood lacking security and emotional support you often end up looking for it in a partner as an adult, hence the attachment, looking for a partner to fill the role a parent should have filled. Wish I could have learned this lesson you teach today back when I was 20 years old. I do now know how to love without attachment. It frees both yourself and the other person.🙏

[@aj-px7ut]

True

[@subintkp9740]

We learn through realisation and correcting our ways slowly by slowly. That's what my experience taught me. Not all of us were lucky to be born in a healthy family. But I think it's the way it is. For some of us it might occur that had this video been released much before we would have the love of our life still with us. But I quote again it is what it is. Learn from your mistakes and move forward. One cannot go back and change their childhood experience. Let's be sorry for that child ,let's pardon ourselves to carry forward those unmet needs to our partners and most importantly realise it embrace it and let's move on. This is how I healed and healing myself.

[@anjanab7190]

Same experience

[@user-ts3yt1do5o]

Detachment to any thing or person will gv peace of mind and happiness .one could experience it by trying detachment .

[@richieb3602]

Exactly my experience. My parents divorced when I was a baby and I never got that emotional support from my mother or anyone else. At 21 I met the woman who would change me, got attached and 36 years later she is dead and I've not been able to get over her death. Haven't heard from my children since the death so I lost wife and kids in one go.

[@luropodaai]

- love is wishing other's happiness - attachment is wishing your own happiness from others; wanting to be with someone forever and not let go; over-protecting, holding on, and controlling someone; being afraid of losing someone - everyone lives in their own private world, everyone needs freedom - you can control how you live in your life - 3 truths in life on how to love and be compassionate: (1) no one is permanent (everything is subjective to change), (2) everyone is suffering in their own world, and (3) not everyone is under your control

[@edberaga6357]

Thx for the conclusion, :D

[@patsiebentley111]

[@oorjitasharma14]

I hurt someone because of my past and I used to think I’m in love him with completely. But I realised that I am more attached to him than in love. Right now we are in separation and because of my attachment I was trying to take control and not able to let go of the things I can’t control. This video opened my eyes. I am trying to change and be a better person. Specially when it comes to love. I want to love unconditionally and selflessly. Affirm.

i recently broke up with someone i loved with all my heart. when we were dating, i had the mentality of love without attachment. however, the more and more i realized we wouldnt work, i started getting attached. consciously, i didnt know it wouldnt work, but my subconscious knew. it knew as soon as the first hint came to my attention, no matter how much i tried to deny it, i knew it wouldnt work. i have known them all of my life, so its hard to let them go, but i hope that soon i can set aside my anger and wish them happiness again like i used to. they truly deserve to be happy.

[@julbro8451]

Perhaps the hardest of all is letting go of deceased loved ones (relatives, pets, friends). In order to free their Souls (and ours), we have to sever our attachments to them to break the karmic bonds that cause both you and them to continue to suffer on the Wheel, lifetime after lifetime in the earth plane. This is very hard, so repeating mantras like "I want your Soul to be free and independent" can help to let go. That is true love.

[@AndresNostos]

Beautiful explanation. I guess sometimes we confuse love with attachment without noticing. We wish for that person happiness, but at the same time we wish we were the source of that happiness selfishly.

[@patsiebentley111]

[@empathicgem7208]

Love without attachment is the choice to love and respects others freedom. Respecting and honoring their choices. I love this message. The brief or long moments should be cherished.

[@lanalou2749]

One of the most compassionate things we can do is love freely, without conditions or attachments. It is painful to think that me or my own child will have to part one day but it is so liberating to understand that this one fact makes every day spent in love and appreciation of my child, a great gift!!! When the time comes for either of us to journey on, it would be kind to say thank you to the soul that befriended mine while we lived together! Thank you for your beautiful lesson Bhadanta. 🙏🏽🌸🌿🕊️

[@jeepcar9641]

in life.. we all pick our own battle. If you love someone, you would sacrifice, caring & take care the person who we love. If someday that person is gone because of breaking up or death then we have to learn to let it go. It is ok to attach to someone but at the same time we have to learn how to let thinngs go. Acceptance is the hardest to learn

Isn't the attachment / detachment that hurts? Love is always available. We can love someone equally whether their body is next to us or not.

Thank you Thero for your deep wisdom about love and attachment. Navigating on the spiritual path I have come to conclusion that when it comes to pure love you wish the other person to be happy even if you are not included in their life that is the definition of unconditional love but the more awaken and spiritual you become love without attachments is the way you begin to love the others.. It's hard but also there is comfort in this truth when there is impermanence... Namo Buddhaya ❤️❤️🙏🙏

Thank you . This was very enlightening. I will keep these lessons with me : - Love is thinking about the other person's happiness, even if it does not include you. Attachment is thinking about your own happiness. - Other people have their own suffering to deal with just like you. As such, they can never fulfill your needs completely.
