Love all, attached to none

"This is the whole secret of non-attachment: Live in the world, but don’t be of the world. Love people, but don’t create attachments. Reflect people, reflect the beauties of the world — and there are so many. But don’t cling. Know, but don’t create knowledge. Love, but don’t create desire. Live, live beautifully, live utterly, abandon yourself in the moment. But don’t look back. This is the art of non-attachment." — Osho 

"Can you step back from you own mind and thus understand all things? Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue." — Lao Tzu 

"Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect." — Lao Tzu 

We get so attached to everything we have and everything we do. We get attached to our ideas, our way of doing things, to places, to things and the many people present in our lives, not knowing that all of our attachments will only bring us anguish, sorrow and suffering.

"Life is really simple, we insist on making it complicated." — Confucius
