How
to let go of all the attachments?Well,in our day to day life we are
attached to so many things,then we all have a few persons towards
whom we feel often endless amount of attachment.There have been
enough texts written glorifying these attachments using lucrative
words but at the end of it does it mean anything?As a dedicated
follower of science I consider it my duty to question everything
around me and look for convincing rational answers,and in this quest I
often encounter concepts which although seemingly convincing are
unreal,I feel.
I've
failed to achieve total detachment but still I'm working towards it
and have strong belief that I'll succeed soon.We all have embarked
upon a journey which can often be compared to any journey we make so often.Life itself is a journey and I often compare it with a train
journey.We often interact with fellow passengers,share jokes wit
them,discuss politics even share phone numbers but how many
passengers we remember after the journey?It's just because of our
detached interaction back there we often don't cry when we take a
leave at the destination.Why not use this concept in our life?I mean
what use is of crying when we move on from one place to
another?Further we move on from one life to another as well..So is it
justified to cry if someone has terminated his/her journey?Not at
all.In fact a detached application of oneself is needed in every walk
of life and it is as hard a fact as it seems.
Yeah
momentary pleasure often casts a cloud over our intellect but if even
for a second we look beyond it,we can feel the reality as it is.Then
pleasure does not seem like pleasure,pain does not feel like pain but
still there is a feeling,an everlasting feeling of calmness within.I
did not appreciate the importance of non attachment but once I used
it on a trial basis,I did cling on to it and will never leave it ever
in life.Our emotions weaken us.That is a fact,and attachment mixed up
with emotions often creates chaos inside an individual which often
manifests itself in brute forms.Thus we have savage beasts resulting
out of human beings.
Non
attachment has even lessened burden of formalities off my head as of
now.I know things are not going to last forever so I don't waste time
over them even unknowingly while if put another way,which is kind of
opposite,I can enjoy every moment as it is no conditions applied.If
it is not going to last forever,why fuss over it?Even people,we deal
with a lot of individuals.We often do not know the majority of people
we deal with daily.Yet there are a few for whom we go the
distance...yeah everyone knows that.But then does that give us an
excuse to dictate terms to those people?No nothing here can be taken
for granted and if someone lets us take him/her for granted it is
just a leaking pipe which needs to be fixed urgently.Similarly,if we
let anyone take us for granted it is the same..
There
are so many enjoyable things for us and each day we come across a lot
of them but hte thing is that everything working here has a limit
except one thing-the human desire.
Of
course desire is glorified by some sections of the society today and
we youngsters are often taught to burn ourselves in the fire of
desire,guided by ambition etc.But this is totally harmful as is
evident everywhere.C'mon look around us each one of us is
dissatisfied and there is no uniform pattern for dissatisfaction.I
mean is there a fixed parameter of income above which people must be
satisfied and below it have a right to be dissatisfied?I've never
heard of such limits.The point I wish to make is that there is no
limit to human desires.People are never satisfied because
satisfaction in itself is something hard to achieve.On one hand we
are burning people with desires and on the other we are teaching them
or rather ordering them to be satisfied!It is impossible.
I
have a lot in my mind,to write about this issue and I can go on for
pages but at the appropriate time it will come up too.For the time
being I should apply brakes as I got a lot of work to do and grasp
some concepts.Afterall,Physics is not my part time subject!
