[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 165557, member: 17438"] For me I would say it is definetly [I]Moh (attachment). [/I]In spiritual terms we must aim to be as free from all attachments, no matter whether the object of our attachment is good in itself, because if we attach ourselves to anything but God alone then we are wandering from our true home in God, in exile from him and we will never find satisfaction in the world of [I]things; nor [/I]will we ever achieve that supreme state of spiritual poverty where, attached to nothing, we come to possess everything since God is in all and through all and possessing Him alone, we possess everything but not as our own in a selfish, singular sense but in common with everyone else. [I]Moh is at the root of all my problems. [/I] [I]When we are attached to anything but God we become a slave of the thing to which we are attached. We crave it, we desire it, we possess it as uniquely our own and this only serves to feed the ego. [/I] By being being attached [I]to nothing [/I]and by recognising nothing as uniquely [I]your own possession[/I] but rather as something loaned to you by the Creator that will pass too your children or others when you die then you come to possess [I]all things [/I]since you view everything from what the gurus call, "the Single of Equality" - nothing appears alien to you, everything in creation is [I]yours [/I]and equally belongs to everyone else. And so through this[I] poverty of spirit [/I]you paradoxically come to possess all things by letting go of any unique attachment to anything. And so you come to be like God, who is equally in all, through all and sustains all without [I]grasping or possessing anything for Himself[/I] but rather gifting everything selflessly for the benefit of all his creatures. Thus Saint Francis dropped his [I]egoistic "Me" in view of a higher being [/I]and let go of his attachment to any of his possessions, and in this way he came to possess everything in creation, every single object and creature became his "Brother" or "Sister" because he was now like God, having everything without having anything. Everyone becomes your brother or sister. You have no enemies, because God shines over all and within all and so do you. There needs become your needs. In all our attachments it is ourselves we are attached to. Unless you have given yourself up, you have given up nothing. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, Jesus said, than for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. We should interpret that to mean ‘people [I]attached[/I] to their riches’, because there are a few rich people who are very generous in spreading their riches around although the Bible calls blessed and worthy of praise the rich people who do, like Saint Paula. Only our essential being can go through the eye of the needle; no attachments will get through. We can take nothing with us when we die, none of our possessions, only the naked beauty or ugliness of our soul which is dependent on how true to ourselves, to the Image of God within us, we have been in our lives.
