Ask Alok da

Can you suggest a book 📕 as in how get over attachment towards family?

There is no particular book on the subject. In general however attachment with family is rooted in the physical consciousness and hence quite difficult to drop off. Still by practice it becomes possible as we start keeping an inner distance. However this often generates suffering in others which brings its own undesirable reactions especially when parents and siblings are concerned. A simpler way is to connect with their best part and for the rest keep moving towards your true goal. Debates discussions arguments do not help. They only complicate relationships.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Yes. But perhaps he became a yogi pursuing the path of love transmuting the vital love into psychic by pursuing the law of sacrifice. Once one can break that barrier from the vital to the psychic love then it can be uplifted towards the spiritual and divine heights. This life was for him a preparation by experiencing…
