Deep rooted Moha(Attachment)

A gyani bhakt should try to keep away from Moha(atachment). The roots of moha are very strong and deep rooted. It is not easy to break the roots of Moha. It is like daldal(wet sand or pothole), where we cannot come out easily. Somebody else has to lift us up. We cannot come out on our own. At the time of crises, this moha can lead us to depression. But if we come across a right friend, a Guru or any person who is concerned about us, we can come out of this daldal.

It is not that we should not get attached. Everybody has moha towards their near and dear ones. If we lose them due to death or any other reason we miss them. Their talks, their love and emotions we miss. We should feel the loss but it should not stay long otherwise it will lead us to depression.

Like Arjun was under deep depression due to this moha. He did not want to fight against his own cousin, uncle, Guru and other relatives even though they did not care for him, they did not give him his share of property. They were ready to fight against him but he was very attached so he being a warrior did not want to fight. But when Lord Krishna, his dear friend, explained him and lifted him up from this moha, he overcame this depression.
In Moha people go blind. They become over possessive and never feel or realise for others. They become selfish.

Very few lucky ones get friends like Krishna to lift them up in need or in crises.

Two children were playing on the road. A speedy car came and hit both of them. Both of them got hurt and fell in a pothole. The mother of one child was standing near. She immediately lifted up her own child and took him to hospital for treatment. She did not bother to look back about the other child who was crying in pain. It is because of this moha she could see only her own child in pain and could hear his scream. She gave deaf ear and blind look to the other child.

Similarly two small children were sleeping together in a cot. Suddenly fire broke out. The mother of one child was nearby. She immediately picked up her own child. She never thought that the other child is equally important to his mother as is her own child to her. We are very insensitive to others feelings and pain. It is because of Moha.
