Free Yourself from All Attachments Dear John , According to Paramhansa Yogananda, the person attached to the fruits of his activities suffers as a result of his attachments. In his article in the October 2016 issue of Clarity Magazine, “Free Yourself from All Attachments,” Yogananda cautions devotees not to become “strongly attached to anything or anyone.” All too often people think the solution to their unhappiness lies in a new relationship, a new job, or perhaps setting up a new home in a different part of the country. Yet, underneath all such yearnings is the desire of the heart to live in attunement with its divine nature, which is bliss. The only lasting solution, Yogananda tells us, is to perform all actions with the sole desire to please God. Actions performed with the desire to please God strengthen our divine attunement and create no new attachments. God has given us the freedom to work out our own destinies, but we must also seek His help. Any sincere effort, no matter how faint-hearted, will draw divine support and guidance. It is my joy to share these articles with you,
