Life is quite strange..

It takes..

Sadness to know Happiness..

Noise to appreciate Silence..

Absence to value Presence

Let me add one more - It takes Detachment to power Attachment..!!

Just ask yourself one thing..

“ Why do you want to get detached ?? ”

Because attachment is causing pain to you..

And you want to get rid of that..!!

Right ??

We want to get detached because we fear suffering..

As suffering gives us pain..!!

Isn’t it so ??

Then we define detachment as to not get involved

because involvement brings attachment..

And if i'll not get involved then i'll get detached..!!

But detachment doesn’t mean that you should stop involvement !!

See ..

If there is no involvement there is no life..

You can only learn life with involvement !!

Even the water you drink today.. If you’ve not been involved you’ve not been known to what it is..

Isn’t it ??

Without involvement you can't even taste life..!!

We want to get detached because we fear about suffering and pain..

Which according to us is attachment giving..!!

Isn’t it so ??

As according to you..

Attachment brings expectations, insecurity, pain..

Which indirectly hurt us..

And you start making your own definitions of it..

and struggle for that..

But actually ..

You don’t need to struggle to detach..!!

Have you observed yourself..

In your childhood you used to love many things such as chocolates, candies, toys, etc..

But now you don’t give that much importance to it ..

Your interest in that has changed..

Your priorities has changed..

Does it mean.. That you got detached from them ??

No..

It's just fallen apart..

It's just that now you’ve other things which made you look higher in life..

Isn’t it so ??

Always remember that you belong to everybody whoever is here around you intentionally or unintentionally ..!!

So just be natural ..

Be simple & take things as they are..!!

Broaden your vision.. Deepen your thoughts ..!!

Have a great sense of belongingness with everybody then see you’ll not have to struggle for detachment..!!

As of a lotus petal..

It has water all around it but it remains dry..

Nothing can wet it..

As because it's his speciality which no one can change..!!

So always remember that ..

Never change yourself for anybody or anything..

Most importantly never lose your self respect at any cost for anybody..!!

“ Detachment doesn’t mean to start hating somebody..

Detachment doesn't mean to un-love ..

Detachment means unconditional love..!! ”

Detachment lets the other person be free..

And it is only possible when you love somebody unconditionally..!!

You have to accept that the person or the thing whichever you thought was yours is no more yours now..

And you can't force them to be with you and love you as you love them..

You have to accept this and let the other person be free..!!

That is what unconditional love is ..

That is what detachment means ..

Detachment is not bad…

And it doesn’t mean that you are not attached to them any more..

It means that you are attached with unconditional love which means to let the other person live according to them as they want to without any insecurity..!!

Now there are two types of attachments that means detachments too..

Physical attachment.

Eg : Twins..

They cannot do anything independently as they are physically attached to each other.

Emotional attachment.

You are emotionally attached to a person and now you cannot think independently or you cannot take any decision independently and you are so attached to them that everything regarding you and your life is dependent on them and that is kind of harmful to you..!!

So ..
