The paternal love for Duryodhana of Dhritrashtra is not a hidden story from anyone. Dhritrashtra was a blind meaning he lacked one sense out of five. But he was blind on thought level too, and due to attachment he was blind on emotional level as well. Ravana has an attachment with his sister, which led to his death eventually. The ability to know the difference between right and wrong diminishes when an emotion like attachment hits you. A lot many families are in shambles because of attachment in relationships that you must have seen. The attachment does not restrict to relationships but extends to money, among other things as well. Attachment extends to material things, mostly. Somebody is attached to car somebody is attached to house, phone, and radio, stereo, the list can go on and on and on. Politicians have a fetish for the chair. 

Attachment is a negative emotion. Attachment is actually an encroachment on your emotional level. You cannot partway with the things, what you consider yours on your emotional level, whatever is on stake. If you really have to part away with that thing, it would be a war like situation for your emotions. You will fight with all your strength to safeguard your emotions. And that’s where you loose your energy. This attachment becomes the source of your unhappiness. This attachment becomes source of stress on your thought level. 

I can give you a million examples of the demerits of attachment, but how about Sacrifice. How powerful it is, let us find out. I strongly believe that Dr. Manmohan Singh is an exemplary example of selflessness and sacrifice. You don’t need to consult your ethics guru to know what Dr. Manmohan Singh thinks of the power and faith vested in him by the people of India. He is not bothered about his position and does not have a grunt about the powers he has. How can somebody be so detached about his powerful status in politics? With power comes the responsibility but at the same time absolute power corrupts absolutely. At least in politics. But look at this man he is right there in the middle of mayhem with ethics and strong will power for his artillery. Opposition in the parliament shouts that he is the lamest prime minister of all times. But we all know what kind of a man is he. The corrupt polity is the root cause of blindness among the politicians of today’s times. The hunger for the chair and position has made them thick skinned and thoughtless. 

I strongly believe that Dr. Manmohan Singh is the best example of emotional stability. He is not in the politics for power or money. Selfless love for the country and its people is his fountainhead of his success.
