THE ROAD HOME

 People with diabetes and poor oral health often have other health problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular disease, which are also risk factors for dementia

The meaning of mind is ‘attachment’.

When you pull a bandaid attached to your skin, it is going to hurt. The higher the stickiness the greater the hurt.

We are advised by our Sages to live our lives in a prudent way so that we need not impose additional attachments on ourselves, and at the same time we might carefully mitigate the existing attachments without childishly runnning away which only aggravates the attachment in some other way.

A mind with no attachments is no mind at all. It is pristine, spontaneous, and natural awareness. There is no struggle in this awareness.

Easier said but very difficult to directly tackle it. Hence we have great scriptures like the Bhagvad Gita following which we can carefully arrive at this awareness with minimum damage to ourselves and our beloved ones here.

The Shiva Siddhantha goes to the extreme in saying..

Arumin arumin Eesanodayinum Pattrai Arumin

meaning

Cut your attachments! Cut your attachments!
Even if it is with Lord Shiva, Cut your attachments!!

I agree it is too much though, and I may not succeed, hahaha!!
