One of the most difficult and the most required bit of life...
To let go!
Letting go of People, Memories, Things, Issues, Values, Habits, Thoughts, n the list goes on...
and as we grow older the letting go activity starts to get tuffer...
Read this note recently -
"When people walk away from you, Let them go...
Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you,
and it doesnt mean they are bad people.
It just means that their part of story is over."
Easy to read, philosophical to think and really tuff to put in practise.
We meet people, we spend time with them, we make a place in their life and our life too only because of the moments we share, we get attached...
and suddenly.... just while you thought and smiled about it...
its over... your time, your story with the person, with the moment is over...
time to detach... time to let go!
yeah change is the only constant, I know... but Letting go! why!? Accepting a change is different and letting go of something/someone is different!
To detach after attach...
Its funny sometimes... I wonder what went in god's mind?
Its like we meet people only to let go of them someday!
Attachment is like a prisoners clutches... it binds and makes us weak... so when the time comes to let go... u are left wondering... wtf jus happened!!! Its difficult to break free from the clutches of attachment... they just stick on you how much ever you try to take it off, it just sticks, after sometime u get used to it, and just when u started getting used to it, it goes off... it detaches!
Obviously it wasn't forever... then why does it get so difficult to detach after being attached!
Yeah, the best would be to not get attached at all... but then, is it possible?
Is it possible to not be attached to avoid the pinch in the heart when its time to detach?
knowingly or unknowingly, Purposely or by chance... but attachment just happens!
n then this circle of letting go after being attached is like really not funny!
Wondering... how to be detached all the time!!!??? can I???
We humans r really amazing... whenever things dont work out the way we want v say... "all happens for the good", "there is something better ahead"...
and like Steve jobs said connecting the dots of ur life only works backwards... yah right...
but what wat in this moment!? what goes thru in this moment... when letting go is difficult in this moment! what bout it?
Coz life is about moments... it may be happy tomorrow, but we are living in today...
and what bout today!? when its difficult today!?
Well, Buddha says... In the end only 3 things matter...
How much we loved
How gently we lived
& How gracefully we Let Go!
Letting Go Happily!!! Really?

welcome back blogger... well its not the word detachment that needs to be addressed. Its attachment. Nuthing wrong with it now but one must remember we are living a borrowed existence and nuthing really matters but what we create of it... nam myoho renge kyo... giving yourself to the law of nature... and that is what it so is... its not what you do but what you be that makes a difference... :)
