Inner Practice: Attachment

The analogy for attachment is honey on a razor blade. The honey tastes so sweet and delicious as you are licking it off the blade, but you are also cutting your tongue and hurting yourself.

This is the deceptive quality of attachment, which lures us into thinking that it brings happiness because generally there is a happy feeling in the mind when attachment is present.
