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 wards ur mother no or yes
Yes — in Jainism, if love toward your mother is free from ego, possessiveness, and clinging, it can be a pure, compassionate feeling.
But attachment is different:
- Attachment (rāga / moha) binds the soul.
- It comes with “she is mine,” “I cannot live without her,” or fear of separation.
- That is considered bondage in Jain Dharma.
A pure भावना for your mother can be:
- respect,
- gratitude,
- service,
- care,
- compassion,
without selfishness or ownership. That is closer to right feeling than attachment.
So the simple answer is:
- Attachment = No, it is not true spiritual love.
- Love free from ego = Yes, it can be pure and righteous.
In Jain view, the highest aim is to love with karuna and samata, while remaining free from moha.
