Let go...

The global warming that blows the world, the degrading environment that nurtures rivalries, the challenges that the humanity faces on many fronts in academia and corporate worlds , the hidden terrorism in every soul in one form or other – all these must sting today’s man to make his earning, yearning and living a hell on this karmic planet.

In the personal level, financial pressures, high aspirations, academic and personal failures – all these break his spirit into pieces. He either becomes vulnerable to such continuous viral attacks or converts himself into a parasite on others.

What is the end result of this scenario?

He becomes a success in his long run of destiny but he learns to bargain his love with acquired possessions. What a pity! In the darkest dungeons of his personality, the stampeded soul holds grudges to heart, refuses to dilute others’ faults, keeps pains in the inner chamber and ultimately walks as a skeleton of repudiation and failures. It is a shame on his part to deprive his soul of the grace that it can bestow and enjoy.

Can he soar ever?

When you become a subject of mockery
Look at those subjects in dispassion once
When you become a target of misery
Accept its rumbling presence in humility once

When you walk the path of thorny bushes
Feel the pain in all its essence once
When you are deprived of loved ones
Cry in solitude to heart’s content once

When you are cornered cruelly
Resist with all your might at least once
When you are showered with abuses
Shut your ears to bless the souls once

When you sense bruises, hurts and pains
Behold passionately and thank them once
When you are no longer needed by anyone
Look un to you and experience yourself once



What after?

Stand in the drizzling rain
Watch how it dances on your face
Absorb the rhythmic movements
Feel the cold rush in your adrenaline
Warm up your heart with love
Thank Mother Nature from the heart
I am sure
You will see a beautiful world
Always beautiful and ever bright
For you have a life and body
Still those moments and enjoy
Instill them in your life and march on

Dust off your past
It is nothing but a graveyard
Shirk off the myths and misfits
It is no longer your companion
Turn once to have a deep look
But fear not
For you are ever new
And conversely Eternal

Let go of the pains
Let go of the miseries
Let go of the successes
Let go of the ego
Let go of the fears
Let go of them happily…..
You will understand that
Life is the best gift of God
And the most beautiful flower to adorn


Oh, man! Let’s lead life gracefully. It is possible only if we ‘let go…..’

Let go….
Let go….

This is a wonderful article about human life. I always contradict with things which we keep,things which we come across. I question myself why we have to let everything go? We never understand that one day we leave all these things and disappear. Hence it is important not to get these things into our mind, if we don't let in then why should we bother about let them go! We have been taught to live with all sort of feelings including unknown ''God'' feeling.

We know that this is a beautiful world where everything is corrupted but actually it is not! We live in a life where we let everything in and worry about how to let them go! Believe it or not, even if we don't let them go, we will go one day.

Thanks for attesting your comments, Radha. Appreciate your questioning and viewpoint.

Whether we like it or not, want it or not, we are conditioned by so many factors since birth. Those thrusted fears, likes, wants, needs etc are what we try to identify with in our lives throughout. As you said, we will go one day undoubtedly whether we let them go or not, but the real challenge is to feel the beauty and purity by letting these conditionings go...
