Awareness(11):

Attached to nothing,

Love is the only freedom from attachment. When you love everything you are attached to nothing.

In fact, one has to understand the very phenomenon of attachment. Why do you cling to something? Because you are afraid you will lose it. Perhaps somebody may steal it. Your fear is that what is available to you today may not be available to you tomorrow.

Who knows about what is going to happen tomorrow? The woman you love or the man you love_either movement is possible:

You may become closer, you may become distant. You may become again strangers or you may become so one with each other that even to say that you are two will not be right. Of course there are two bodies, but the heart is one, and the ecstasy surrounds you both like a cloud. You disappear in that ecstasy:

You are not you, I am not I. Love becomes so total, love is so great and overwhelming, that you can not remain yourself. You have to drown yourself and disappear.

In that disappearance who is going to be attached, and to whom?

Everything IS.

When love blossoms in it's totality, everything simply is. The fear of tomorrow does not arise. Hence there is no question of attachment, clinging, marriage, of any kind of contract, bondage.
