Jaya Kishori gave this example of attachment
Everyone calls attachment towards someone as love, but Jaya Kishori explained by giving a very good example of Dhritarashtra and Duryodhana that 'What Dhritarashtra did to Duryodhana was attachment. He ruined his life and the lives of his children in the name of love.' Everyone should read and understand this.
Love gives freedom
Explaining the difference between love and attachment, he said, 'There is absolutely a difference between love and attachment. Love is freedom, attachment is bondage, that you make a set, this will be, that will be, this will be, this world will be, that world will be. This is not love because you are doing something deliberately. Love is complete freedom and what kind of freedom is this that you are looking at everything. You know what is right and then you make your choice, this is long-term love.'
This means that you choose to live with the other person after seeing and understanding every good and bad habit of the other person and this is love.
Told Arjun and Krishna the symbol of love
Jaya Kishori further said that 'Today I say that, in which I spoke about Dhritarashtra and Duryodhan… the love is of Arjun and Krishna. When it was wrong, I stopped it, when it was right, I supported it.'
'Dhritarashtra supported Duryodhan in everything, you already know what happened to whom in the end. We say that love is blind, what is this, we say in every matter that yes, this is love, this is not love, this is attachment and it will drown both of them.'
This also tells us that agreeing with your partner on everything and supporting him in his good and bad deeds is not love. Love means encouraging your partner when he is right and scolding him when he is wrong.
Why it's important to know the difference between love and infatuation
It is often seen that some people call their relationship love and then try to bind and control their partner. But if you truly love someone, then do not keep him/her in any kind of cage, do not be so crazy about him/her that even the wrong thing of the other person seems right to you. Rather, along with yourself, inspire your partner to do something in life and fulfill their desires.
This does not only apply to husband-wife or girlfriend-boyfriend, but also applies to parents and children as well as brothers and sisters. This is because love and affection can happen with anyone.
