A story from the Shrimad Bhagavatam about the most unexpected kind of attachment.

Bharata was a great king who gave up everything willingly - his empire, his wealth, his family - and walked into the forest to be alone with God.

He was close. Very close.

Then one morning a pregnant doe leaped across the river in terror, and her fawn fell into the current.

Bharata pulled it out.

And then something began to happen. Quietly. Without him even noticing.

The Bhagavatam says he gave up an entire empire without a second thought.

He could not give up this one small animal.
