All the attachment and detachment belong to you, not to the Soul, the Self. All attachment and detachment belong to the domain of form, time, and space.
Without form, time, and space there is no idea of attachment and detachment. The form, time, and space belong to the dualistic illusion.
From the standpoint of the Soul, there is nothing to attach or detach because there is no second thing that exists other than the Soul to attach or detach.
Form, time, and space are the products of ignorance. When ignorance vanishes form, time and space vanish and the Soul, the Self alone will prevail as a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Attachment to the Soul, the ’Self’, and detachment from the ‘I’’(world) is the key to freedom and salvation.
Every one of us is attached to the 'I', which holds the whole experience of diversity. And diversity makes us the prisoner of duality. The 'I' appears and disappears as the mind is impermanent.
Why the 'I', does not disappear even after inquiry, even if one knows intellectually- 'I' am not the body?
If 'I', is not the body, what is 'I', without the body?
How can 'I', remain as 'I', without the body?
Where 'I', disappeared in deep sleep?
What is it that knows, the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
When the 'I' is impermanent, what is it that permanent Which knows the appearance and disappearance of the 'I'?
How can one remain as 'I', when it is impermanent and judge the eternal truth, which is not the 'I'?
The seeker of the truth has to find what is eternal and what is impermanent to decide whether the 'I' or duality is permanent or the Soul, the witness of the 'I', is permanent? to overcome the illusion and establish the non-dualistic reality.
Remember:~
Detachment to attachment is impossible without Advaitic wisdom. Only when one realizes the fact that the Self is not the form, but the Self is the formless Soul, then only it is possible to detach the ‘Self’ from the false attachment.
Man and his individual experience of birth, life, death, and the world are a reality within the dualistic illusion.
Until one has a firm conviction, he is an individual separate from the world, and the world existed prior to him, and he is born in it afterward, he will never be able to acquire nondualistic or Advaitic wisdom, because of this reason, he will not be able to think beyond the form, time and the space.
Until this conviction is there all his views, judgments, and conclusions are based on the false self (ego or you) within the false experience (waking).
Thus, there is a need to overcome this conviction by realizing that form, time, and space are one in essence. And that essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
All the attachment and detachment are within the dualistic illusion or Maya. The Maya is present in the form of the universe. The dualistic illusion is the product of ignorance.
From the non-dualistic perspective, nothing can be attached and nothing can be detached.
Self-realization is necessary to get rid of ignorance. Without the ignorance of the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness alone exists.
Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham ~ Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness, which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (14.27).
Consciousness, the God is Self-evident. It is not established by extraneous proofs. It is not possible to deny God because God is the very essence of the one who denies God. God is the basis of all kinds of knowledge, presuppositions, and proofs.
Sage Sankara: ~ “VC~ All this universe which through ignorance appears as of diverse forms, is nothing else but Brahman (Consciousness) which is absolutely free from all the limitations of Maya.
Due to ignorance, the universe has arisen. The universe is the dualistic illusion or Maya. Without ignorance, the Soul, the Self, which is present in the form of consciousness alone shines as the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.:~ Santthosh Kumaar
