Letting go of attachment

[Guest guest]

In meditation, letting go is the first practice. Letting go of attachment, desire, concepts, and memories. When you sit, you surrender to whatever may come up in the enclosed space of your mind and let it go. In real life letting go manifests itself in our ability to cope with loss- letting go is not an act, it is an acceptance. Loss takes many forms and proportions – the loss of a pen, a diamond earning, a plum job, a beloved parent, a meaningful relationship, loss of pride, of identity, of country and so on.

We never complain or go into shock when happy events come into our lives one after the other, do we? To acknowledge loss is true acceptance. To deny it as it rises is to repress it and find it deep down in some reaction, that catches us unaware later. But to let oneself be swayed and bereft and consumed by it, is to fall into the trap of being attached to the concept of loss. To dwell upon it too long is to let ourselves be caught by the memory rather than reality.

Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, life itself reveals again and again the opposite: that letting go is the path to real freedom. Difficulties and obstacles, if properly understood and used, can often turn out to be an unexpected source of strength.

If everything is impermanent, then everything is what we call “empty”, which means lacking in any lasting, stable, and inherent existence; and things, are not independent but interdependent with all other things.

Yez, let go let go let god .. is the wonderful teknik to avoid negative reaction especially when we experience embittering experiences. Grace is essential to practise this even.
