Moha
Delusion that clouds clear seeing
đUnderstanding Moha
Moha means delusion, bewilderment, or infatuation. It is the fundamental confusion that makes us mistake the unreal for the real, the temporary for the permanent, and the painful for the pleasurable. The entire teaching of the Bhagavad Gita aims to remove Arjuna's moha, and by extension, ours.

Krishna Teaches Arjuna About Attachment Through His Own Example
âArjuna & Krishna
Detachment doesn't mean feeling nothing â it means loving fully without clinging. The river touches both banks completely but doesn't stop flowing. We can give ourselves wholly to relationships while still being willing to release them when the time comes.
Qualities of a True Devotee
