Let it BE!

 

Nothing can stop us from realizing true potential of existence. This may be said to oneself a couple of times till it sinks in one’s mental fabric. The only thing that appears as a hindrance is our inability to respond to situations because of the ‘apparently’ perceived odds. Whether things are possible, fear of failure, expectations, time constraints, people’s acceptance, and our duties – all are incidental or meant to be incidental. They cannot be defined as excuses for underperforming in any way. Whatever people think about us, is not a complete picture of the situation (and no one can possibly have it) and whatever people say, doesn’t indicate our worth at all. In fact, our performance, engagement of any kind and our decisions – all these do not define who we are or what we are. We are not defined by conditions around and we do not respond because there is a compulsion or we need to prove something. We need not take the burden of comparing or making a difference to anything. All things happen on their own. We need not worry about laying justice to all dimensions of life, we need not worry that we can’t give equitable time to all – since no matter how much we try, people (in fact all of us) are engrossed in our own fears and hence expect perfection and control of the entire situation around us.

The first lesson is to let go of this compulsion of performance and ‘making a difference’. What difference will it make if we just exist for delight and in a peaceful way? Proving one’s position is a burden and in today’s times, there’s a lot of noise, so our sincerity incidentally is adding to more noise than anything!

So one needs to relax and be silent.

Secondly, compartmentalization of time does not mean everything is attended and it does not guarantee satisfaction. We need to acknowledge all dimensions of thought – from fear to love and from order to organic approach – all are required, all make us as human beings. A lot of hue and cry is made out of efficiency. Let things be as they are. Just as we talk about Nature being as it is, we need to let phenomenon be as it is.

We are not answerable to any change, at the cost of losing our peace. The forces of control and anxiety are getting strong…so let them be. We need not loose our peace.
