What is the difference between attachment and commitment? If I do not get attached, how can i have commitment? On the other hand, If I am committed, will I not get attached?
Attachment implies love mixed with selfishness. It is doing an act out of a selfish need. It is like agreeing to take care of a mango tree only because it will produce sweet fruits. If one season the tree does not produce fruit, attachment will cause you to stop taking care of the tree.
Commitment on the other hand is having dedication to the cause undertaken. It is making the health of the tree more important than the fruits it produces. Thus, even if the tree does not give as many fruits during a particular season, your commitment to it will not let you abandon the tree.
