The goal of yoga is known to be obtaining mastery over revolving thought waves in the mind. Attachment proves to make this interesting, to say the least.
But lets say we establish habits of mind waves that are on desired frequencies of exponential growth, passion, co-creation,, compassion, humor, etc.. that is a very practical form of Yoga for the opportunities of today.
Here is what Freud wrote about what he observed about a famous poet friend. They were on a beautiful nature walk - yet the friend was unable to feel any joy.
Some powerful emotional factor was at work which was disturbing their judgement, and I believed later that I had discovered what it was. What spoilt their enjoyment of beauty must have been a revolt in their minds against mourning. The idea that all this beauty was transient was giving these two sensitive minds a foretaste of mourning over its decease; and, since the mind instinctively recoils from anything that is painful, they felt their enjoyment of beauty interfered with by thoughts of its transience.
