RE: 'desire and attachment are the cause of suffering'
PS from an an esoteric viewpoint the reason why it is important to surrender human desire and attachment is because it then becomes much eaiser to hear the divine purpose of the soul and be guided by your GOD self and all that is divine. If we have attachments or are attached to outcomes then our soul cannot guide us for our highest good. To ensure we arrive at the right place at the right time, if we miss the links and the other pieces of the jigsaw, it can take a long time for a similar opportunity to come around again and if hard headed sometimes even a different lifetime.
Some people have spiritual aspirations yet they are not always compatible with the soul journey chosen pre-incarnation hence why people can get stuck. The universe is saying no way you are in a cul de sac!

RE: 'desire and attachment are the cause of suffering'
Interesting thread. Something close to my heart at the moment. Bloody difficult to stop the ego doing the talking and decisionmaking. Also difficult to remove desire and attachment when we're taught all our lives to get top grades at exams, buy a big house, buy a nice car, go on luxury holidays, and all your friends are achieving such things...
and the second you think "i am better than that person because he needs that S class Merc"... yep that's your ego kicking into action again! [8D]

Ah but that is the tapes and software programmes put into human consciousness that begins in childhood not much to do with the EGO and the divine shrine of the divine. It is the sacral chakra I WANT TO BE HAPPY and looking for happiness and self validation outside of the self. True happiness can only be found within.

Is that not a lack of self esteem for when one's self esteem is where it needs to be one does not compare oneself with others at all. When one is detached one is not interested in others possessions, abilities or accomplisments as one is living one's true divine purpose and flying divine!
I love the Sufi quote 'I was looking for the self and I found GOD and when I found GOD I found the self'.
