Such wisdom here. Being able to identify an actual threat vs a trigger that feels familiar is such an important part of healing.

I (Mat), asked Swami Shankaratilaka how to love my wife (and/or children) without attachment. Expecting advice on how to become non-attached, instead to my surprise, this was His answer:

“To be in love is one of the best ways to grow in responsibilities and thus maturity. Welcome the responsibilities of marriage and family as part of the path. Do your marriage like a yogi.

Do not think attachment is bad. In the dharma, attachment is the way of liberation. Attachment without the dharmic knowledge is ignorance.

But with the dharma, attachments become tools and resources for developing our consciousness.

To have responsibilities [in love], is to make you happy and free from your ego. Because egotism is a sickness that disappears with responsibilities [to love another].”

Thank you to and for organizing such a beautiful opportunity for us and our teachers at Sacred Yoga Institute learn from Gurudev. 🌺👣🌺

Healthy attachment is what it’s all about. Going through life unattached is a way to protect oneself from pain under the false guise of a sense of spiritual or emotional health. Healthy relationships can heal attachment wounds and allow for a deeper life experience of love and relationship.
