♪ ♫ “Let it go..” ♩ ♬ Philosophy
♩ ♬ … Let it go, let it go … ! ♩ ♬ These lines make sense now after a good meditation session. Basically what is changing is not you and hence you must let it go and not try to cling and hold onto it. Identifying ourselves with changing things such as looks, hair, body, youth, relationships etc. will cause misery and suffering because deep inside you know that you are an unchanging spirit. The soul or spirit whatever you wish to call yourself, has been the same since you were a child to what you are now. Its just that your brain accumulated more knowledge, your body grew bigger, you now understand social norms, you have some knowledge about how this world works, you learnt mathematics n physics, etc., but the soul / spirit inside you has always been the same.
Imagine how you looked at the world outside with those tiny little eyes of yours when you were a kid. Go back to the memories of you being small and doing something, playing with your parents or fighting with your siblings.. Ofcourse you know more now but when you imagine yourself as a kid in the past, you will notice something that was the same. Its your spirit, its your soul looking at the world through a kids eyes, through a kids brain, through a kids body .. with limited knowledge and experience.. But it was you all along, the unchanging you.. some quality that really is YOU. That which never changes.
Now, don’t you think this is something that holds true for all others as well ? Yes, and therefore there is an underlying spirit to everything that is there in this universe. And from here come the concepts of non-violence, Oneness, etc. Oops I’m digressing. Back to “Let it go, let it go !” ..
So, when we notice something is changing in our lives and we worry about it or are afraid of it or are just uncomfortable with the change, then know that you have been thinking that the one that is changing is you and therefore it doesn’t feel natural that it changes. Because YOU are the unchanging one in this entire changing universe. Its only ignorance that you assume you are the body or something else that is changing. As long as this ignorance is present you will start suffering or feeling bad about things that change. So the answer is whenever something changes and causes inconvenience, just “Let it go, Let it go !” because its the way of life to tell you that you have attached yourself to this, but know that you are not it. If you can’t know it soon, then you will suffer and suffer and know it later then. Try all you can to avoid life lessons but life always gets you at the end, isn’t it ?
So just sing “Let it go…” to whatever you are uncomfortable about or worried about.. and an important point to observe here is that those things which you worry about later are the very things which you like at the beginning. Example , your hair, it grows stronger longer and beautiful when you are youthful and soon starts fading, growing weaker, falling off etc. So a hidden important lesson here is do not grow your liking or attachment to things. Always know that everything in this world is temporary ! That's a very harsh statement cuz it means that mine and your parents are temporary. It means this healthy body is temporary, it means your ability to taste is temporary, your ability to see is temporary. It is very cruel that life first makes us like all these things only to take it away slowly bit by bit.
But when you realize you are not all those things you were conditioned to get attached to, then you just “Let it gooooo !”.. But you wonder why is life such a bitch ? Why make us addicted to something and then take it away slowly to make us suffer ? Why does it want to teach us these lessons in such a cruel way ? What is life ? Isn’t it just a wave in the ocean. A creature is born and then dead, so What the hell happened ? A life encased around the spirit and made it suffer and suffer till the creature’s death , wtf is it all about ? It somehow looks like life is a lesson to teach spirit not to get attached to matter. It is a purifying process !
Lets say the process reaches completion and spirit realizes it is not matter at all, what would we then think of life as ? How would we look at life after we have graduated from the life university successfully ? We just would laugh and thank and feel gratitude towards life for teaching us how ignorant we were and say, “That was some amazing experience and visuals beyond 3D, 4D and 5D ! What a fantastic VR experience you built for me life ! Amazing ability to draw out my last bit of craving to hold onto matter , hats off, if it weren’t for you I would never have learnt that I am not the matter.”
If I am not the ever changing matter and I (the spirit) am the only constant in this universe, then who is matter, who are you Mr. Life ? Who am I talking to ? I am talking to myself ? Yes it seems so, cuz I’m the only ONE in this entire cosmos and to hell with Cosmos, wtf is it anyway, just matter, so I am the ONLY ONE there is.. the cosmos is matter, ever changing world. So matter doesn’t exist at all ? Is matter a dream then ? Something that doesn’t exist is an illusion .. but an illusion is always an imitation of something real .. What is the reality of matter? I am the REAL. So matter is nothing but me ! I have been playing this game with myself , acting ignorant, punishing myself, coming out victorious, experiencing different flavors of emotions, etc. All this is me, it was all a game!
