Your touch brings me alive...
Ever bestowed a title or name upon your possessions? Ever felt that your non-living possessions have mood swings and emotions?
A house, a car, a laptop gleaming in the showcase are mere objects. Once they belong to you, they get kick started into life. I do believe our possessions inherit vibes from us, just as pets do. They attune themselves to our touch, our habits, our fingers. They cling, they adopt, they mould.
Going even farther back, remember Devdatta and Panchajanya, the celestial conch shells of Arjun-Krishn. Gandiva and Sudarshan - the divine bow and divine discus.
In Mahabharata era , weapons and conch shells were extremely personified and personalized objects. They were given elaborate names just as we name a child. They remained private, precious and intensely personal possessions. Never did Krishn lust for Gandiva or Arjun for Sudarshanchakra.
In the midst of this tender attachment to weapons, Krishn also advocated detachment. Responsible detachment, not mere indifference.. Recycling is the universal law. Even human bodies are meant for recycle.
The modern We can murder to grab the 'latest' iPhone. Today's owned object is tossed aside tomorrow.
Use and throw. Objects, relations, people ...
How does one tread the fine tightrope between attachment and detachment?
