Attachment is the psychological and spiritual condition of clinging to people, possessions, outcomes, or identities, often rooted in ego and fear of loss. In Hindu and Buddhist philosophy, it is understood as a primary source of suffering and karmic bondage.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche uses mythological narratives—particularly the story of King Sarata and his encounter with the sage Medas—to illustrate how attachment to power, status, and control precipitates spiritual and material ruin. The goddess Mahammaya emerges as the cosmic force that reveals attachment's illusory nature, teaching that liberation requires recognizing what we falsely believe we possess.
