Letting Go - Who, What, and Why?

When something gets taken away from you, let it go. If it’s a person who chooses to leave you, let that person go too. When you let go, and don’t cling on, you will not suffer.

I came across these words at the time when I was in those states of … letting go someone… that someone whom I thought existed just for me…. But time is the best teacher. It will teach you things at the right time so that you can take care of life in a much better way. Had this teacher taught something, without any context, may be I would have never learnt it. But, time waits, like a teacher, to come and teach you the lessons on life only when you are ready to learn those lessons, just as a tenth grade teacher will have to wait for a second grade child to clear all the grades through nine to reach there and learn what is required, because only then, will the child have the ability to understand and absorb things which will be helpful to clear or make way for future endeavors. True… Being detached does not mean you don’t care. Being detached from someone helps you to see the truth about Life. To accept the reality that no one can control others…. For ever… everything is temporary, every person is temporary… they exists for a purpose. When the purpose is fulfilled, the person or thing will just disappear… no matter how hard you may try to keep it or control it. .. whether money, or relationships. So… Don’t blame nor rejoice …. What you just need to do is transcend that love, that desire hat creates attachment. Through detachment of worldly or materialistic things, arises the attachment with God….. the Supreme Being …. Being attached to Him causes no suffering. There’s only joy… only love… only peace… Amen! In a let go, there’s just inner peace – and no suffering ever!
