The Origin of Attachment

My friend presented me an indoor plant last week. I love to be one with Nature. I kept the plant inside a glass container in the clinic.Everyday after completing the consultation, I will lock the door and meditate on the plant. It was a very blissful experience. I realised that I was gradually getting attached to it . I also realised the “Impermanence of it’s Permanence”. It is needless to accept that I also am in the same boat like that plant with respect to existence in the ocean of life. I asked myself this question “ What is the origin of attachment?.” An inner voice answered me “The origin of attachment is acquisition and the subsequent possession .” I realised that I had fallen a prey to that demon named “ Attachment “. Immediately I returned the plant to my friend . I also expressed my gratitude for presenting a plant which during it’s transient existence blessed me with a pearl of Wisdom. I am indeed hopeful that I will meet this Buddha (mean that plant ) in the astral world where it will be only a soulful relationship.A truthful incident and not a fabric of wisdom woven with the thread of imagination .
