Fighting Life, by resisting whatever is
happening to you, is a just not worth it. Every which way, you
stand to lose.
But the human mind, driven by ego, wants you to
believe that you can and must do something in a Life situation. So it will goad
you to fight. To resist what’s happening to you. And that’s how, through such
resistance, you invite misery into your Life.
Let’s understand this better. There are only two
kinds of problems. One set of problems are those that you can solve – either on
your own or through a third party resource, expending money or through other
means. The other set of problems are the ones that are, humanly, unsolvable.
Only Life has to solve them over time. When you are faced with the second set
of problems, the best thing to do is to let go!
When you let go, your problem may still be there.
But it won’t torment you. It will not cause you any misery. You become
miserable only when you attempt doing something that you are incapable of doing
or don’t like doing. Let’s get this straight – Human beings do things. Life simply happens. These
are the only two realities. When you can’t solve a Life problem by doing
something about it, let go and allow Life to happen to you – in total
acceptance and humility! Just let it happen. Let go of your desire to control,
to solve, to do.
So, when you find that your doing something about a
situation is of no use, simply flow with Life. Float like a piece of wood does
on a river. Don’t worry about where Life is taking you or about why is it
taking you wherever it is going or ask when will this journey end. This does
not mean inaction. The choice of allowing yourself to ‘float’ is significant
action in itself! Don’t, however, analyze and form opinions
about outcomes and possibilities. Don’t reason what consequences will follow an
outcome – if you end up here, this is what will happen or if you end up there,
this is what it means. Let Go = non-reasoning, non analyzing, non-questioning!
Let Go means living spontaneously!
Living in ‘Let Go’ mode is not difficult. It is
intelligent living. Because you are doing the most intelligent thing after
trying to apply your intelligence to solving the problem or Life situation. When you live in a
‘Let Go’ you may have to live with your problem, your Life situation – but you
will live in peace, in bliss.
