Aparigraha is the principle of non possessiveness. Sadly it's our egos nature to feed on attachment. Attachment to the body, the mind, the thoughts and ideas, to bondage and to belongings. Attachment even to opinions and judgments are facets of the ego.
"Whenever we come up with something that appears to be new and original, it is important to realize that we are just tapping into knowledge that already exists (isvara)".
To navigate the fierce ocean of ego we need a raft of compassion. Compassion when we recognize ourselves being torn by attachments, so we can release the attachment without any resentment to the object or idea nor our own self.
It is to be noted that by condemning the situation or the self is again the mischievous act of the ego. But the compassion of true awareness would simply let it go without hurting.
