ममत्तं छिंदए ताए, महानागोव्व कंचुयं
A spiritual aspirant should break up the bondage of attachment like the serpent which relinquishes its skin
In this position also, he comes into contact with many things. He gets attached, starts liking the things he is associated with. His attachment is seen with ordinary clothes and wooden pots also. Not only this, with people also he gets attached. He considers everyone associated with him – guru or disciples as his own. This bondage of attachment being an obstruction in the devotion is worth giving up .
