Detachment….the
only way to go
Bhagavad Gita proclaims with profound
teaching
To do our duty and stay
detached to outcomes
Going through the journey is
our responsibility
Not worrying about the final
destination to reach
Though this is tough to
practice, it is not impossible
Of course it is difficult to
internalize and implement
Trying to evaluate every
opportunity to benefit
Is beginning of discomfort in
otherwise calm life!
Detach from the past, its own
prideful moments
And frustrating situations of
pain and anguish
This will simplify life. It is time to let go! LET GO!
Give away things that you no
longer use or need
Forgive people who will not
matter days from now
Same time, forgive self for the
stupid decisions made
Those impractical sad choices
made, irreverent!
Forgive thyself for those
irresponsible actions
Realizing the impermanence of
this unrealistic life
Life is beautiful as we stop
loving things and use people
It is exemplar to love people
and use things
This love for people is also
impermanent
Things may change, situations
may change
Life has to move on, even after
people disappear
Stay calm and accept whatever
comes on our way
Who can stop the course that
Life just takes
We struggle immensely to
control our lives
Not realizing how absurd and
how more stupid it is
The circle of influence has to
be let gone
Neither you can control yours
nor of others
Expectations that life gives us
all that we want
And fail to understand that
this buries ourselves
In self-vested and ruinous
entangled emotions
True intelligent living is
learning to detach when needed
Just to be honest to self, and
letting it go!
Detachment is not a difficult
task or impossible
It is just right to be working
towards our actions
And stop craving and worry
about outcomes
Not overloading or burdened by
our own emotions
Love and forgive people. Let
them go when they must!
We may win few, lose some, but
end will be blissful
Ever be detached for never to make
life miserable!
