    attachment is just a egoistic clinging and affection is a true deep love to some one no or yes when that love is free from ego to

    In Jain Dharma, yes — when love is free from ego, possessiveness, and expectation, it becomes closer to pure affection and not attachment.

    In simple Jain understanding:

    • Attachment (rāga / moha) binds the soul.
    • It creates clinging, dependence, expectation, and possession.
    • It increases karmic bondage.

    Pure affection, when free from ego:

    • Is selfless
    • Has goodwill
    • Does not demand ownership or return
    • Respects the other being’s soul and freedom

    So in Jain view, egoistic clinging is attachment, while selfless, non-possessive affection is a purer भावना. But even affectionate bond should remain within awareness and detachment, so it does not turn into moha.

    A very Jain way to say it is:

    Love with compassion, but without possession. Care for all beings, but do not bind yourself through clinging.

    If you want, I can explain this in Jain terms like rāga, moha, sneha, and vatsalya in a very simple way.
