Clothing Debate?
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2019 1:34 pm
Hi. Im a 15 year old teenager. Im into clothes, sneakers, designer brands, etc.
I understand that “Maya” (Illusion of the World) is heavily incorporated in the teachings of our Gurus.
However, does collecting sneakers, wearing nice-looking outfits, etc. go against this?
If I am not being prideful or looking down on people, then is there anything wrong?
As long as I don’t get too attached to these materialistic things I don’t see why not, correct?
I just want to be able to have a hobby, something to do in my freetime, collecting and shopping for nice looking clothes (in my opinion whichever clothes I like whether they are $5 or $500) that are aesthetically pleasing can be pleasureful, but not harmful.
If anyone has any insight or light to shed and bring in something informative, please reply. And please make your reply thorough and long! Thanks!
