What is the need to be attached to another?

definition
"Stay attached where you grow, but when growth ceases, detach without guilt; your loyalty is to consciousness, not to yesterday’s boat."
According to Osho, attachment is needed when it roots you where growth happens: a disciple must commit, plug in to a living master so the energy, love, and understanding become existential, not merely intellectual. Stay attached wherever you mature and blossom; when growth stops, detach without guilt and seek new soil. Your loyalty is to consciousness, not to yesterday’s boat.
Like a tree needs soil, stick with the person or guide who helps you grow; when they don’t, thank them and find new ground.
