Daily Enlightenment: Letting Go

Letting go is letting go. It is not trying to let go. The element of trying suggests attachment. The more you try, the more you might suffer. If you cannot let go your trouble in mind just yet, try resolving it another way. Maybe it is not to be let go just like that. When you want to forget, you might recall. When you want to recall, you might want to forget. I guess this is the anguish of mental suffering, of not being with the beloved, of departing from the beloved. To all lovers out there... it is stuff like these that keep us as lovers loving each other, in the name of love that might be pure attachment, returning to Samsara to each other again and again, thinking it is True Happiness, while evading Nirvana, which is True Happiness. All lovers have to part some time in life, in death. Letting go will not be easy but it will have to be done. Is your love for each other a process of becoming more and more attached or more and more liberated from each other while cherishing each other? Remember - the only true way we can all stay united as one in the truest of all love is to become equally liberated Buddhas.
