Supreme Non attachment

In all lives, the human being is the only being who can do this. No other animal can do this as easily as a human can do. Yes. Nonattachment of objects. But in actuality, the human being is the only being that accumulates not only sufficient for him but struggles to accumulate so that his next seven generations should not face any problem. He never understands that generations get what they deserve.

And now a day, property, money, general objects of day to day use even pets have become desirable things. If we have them, we cannot sleep in the fear of if somebody steals them from us. And if we do not have them, we cannot sleep in the worry of not having anything.  

A man has many desires which keep increasing with time. These desires increase attachments.

There was a boy who had nothing but just a small sleeping bag with him. He used to sleep on the road. As he had no property he was sleeping quite well in the night on the footpath. He was keeping his sleeping bag in one corner of his workstation. He was a waiter in one restaurant. As he used to be busy, there was a chance of losing his bag. So he thought of taking one small room on rent for stay. As he took one room, he was required to pay all rent, electricity bill, water bill, etc by himself. So he started working overtime. But still, he was not able to satisfy his financial needs. So he decided to keep a partner. The partner came in. As now they were two, they thought to save money by making food at home for themselves. Now they bought the grocery for the food preparation and some necessary things as well in partnership. But as their income increased due to partnership, they decided to appoint a maid for household work. The maid started spending more money on food. So they again started working hard and earning more money. Now they decided to marry, so now they will require separate homes. So they rented small homes and got married. As his wife was working, they kept a maid. They added a lot of home appliances as well. After some days, children got added to the family. Now, both his wife and he were required to work hard to earn more money for children and their future. As there was more number of people, earning was required more.

When he was on road having nothing other than just a sleeping bag, he was able to sleep at night with happiness. But as he started possessing objects, his desire kept on increasing. Desire is one thing that never ends. If you complete one, another generates. So it is always better to be happy with what you have. Rather you should try to reduce dependency on objects. When you leave everything, you will be the happiest person as there would be nothing to lose. Keep minimum rather than optimum things in your life. Then try to reduce the minimum level below till it reaches zero.

Zero is an ideal goal in everything.
