In this article, we will bring the distinction between attachment and detachment, to designate as the relationship of man is not the domain of things, neither of himself, but a detachment that unites the soul with the full dimension of God and free itself. The notions of subjection and obedience show up there in the ontological sense, in which man maintains a link of dependency with the largest dimension. By withdrawing from the position of attachment with itself and with an understanding of being as definitive materiality, man changes the relationship with the world and comes to see and have God in all things, on his release and detachment of categorization and pre-determination.
