AttachmentisthatwhichresultsfromPleasure(2.7)
The attachment has the objects as its basis. Objects are both
animate and inanimate. Animate objects constitute all our loved ones
associatedwiththebody.Inanimateobjectsrefertothematerialobject

Inordertoovercomeattachment,onehastogiveupallobjects

practice devotion to God associate all animate and inanimate objects
withGod.Inthisway,theyovercomeattachment.TheyovercomeIby

Aversionisthatwhichresultsfrompainormisery(2.8)
Loveandhatred.
Aversionoccursbecauseofthemodificationofpleasureintopain.
All enjoyments have body limitations. The suffering is always directly
proportional to the enjoyment. One cannot derive infinite pleasure in
the body for it results in disease and sickness. We are already infinite
andinfinitecanonlybesatisfiedbyinfiniteandnotbyfinitepleasures.
Therefore, we have to overcome aversion by not associating ourselves
withtheobject.
