Strict Jain answer: No.

In Jainism, even love for one’s mother is not called pure freedom if it contains attachment, possessiveness, dependence, or preference. If there is no ego, no “mine,” no clinging, and only pure respect, gratitude, and compassion, then it is closer to dharmic feeling, not worldly attachment.

So:

• Attachment = clinging, possessiveness, ego-based “my mother”
• Pure affection = respectful, selfless, compassionate भावना without ownership

But in the strictest Jain sense, even deep emotional love is still a form of rāga if there is inner pull. Only complete equanimity is beyond attachment.

So the strict answer is: No — if there is any clinging at all, it is still attachment.
