Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.
Attachment to spiritual things is.. just as much an attachment as inordinate love of anything else.
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
Softly and kindly remind yourself, ''I cannot own anything.'' It is a valuable thought to keep in mind as you struggle to improve your financial picture, worry about investments, and plan how to acquire more and more. It is a universal principle which you are part of. You must release everything when you truly awaken. Are you letting your life go by in frustration and worry over not having enough? If so, relax and remember that you only get what you have for a short period of time. When you awaken you will see the folly of being attached to anything.
The tighter you squeeze, the less you have.
Those who consciousness is unified abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace. But those whose desires are fragmented, who are selfishly attached to the results of their work, are bound in everything they do.
