Sri Aurobindo

I want to understand what You mean by a sentimental attachment, a vital attachment, and “no expression of any kind to such an attachment”.

A sentimental attachment is an attachment of the feelings; a vital attachment is an attachment of the senses. By “expression” I mean exchanging affectionate words or sensual gestures such as holding hands, caressing, etc.
