Remember that daya, compassion, and Maya attachment, are two different things. Attachment means the feeling of \u2018my-ness\u2019 toward one\u2019s relatives\u2026Compassion is the love one feels for all beings of the world. It is an attitude of equality\u2026But one thing should be remembered: Maya keeps us in ignorance (of our divine nature) and entangles us in the world, whereas daya makes our hearts pure and gradually unties our bonds and attachments.<\/p>\n

\nUnderstand this while yet alive, realize it while you still have time|
\nIf you break not the bonds of attachment now, how can death liberate you?<\/p>\n
My thoughts:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
While alive, we tie ourselves to the bindings we impose on ourselves \u2013 the bond of family, the bindings of friendship, the demands of duty, the need to be heard, the desire to feel good through the positive reinforcement of our perceived image in the eyes of others, the clutches of material possessions, the size of our bank balance, the glory of our social position, the magic of our own perception of our value.<\/p>\n
If chasing all of this, we completely ignore the true joy we feel when we give up all and roam free, able to breathe air without restriction or worry.<\/p>\n
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said it perfectly \u2013 when I remove the \u201cmy\u201d, desire transforms into satisfaction. The same act, performed without ego, moves perception from self-pandering to true bliss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
