Detachment

“…in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it… You don’t give up the intention, and you don’t give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the result… The moment you relinquish your attachment to the result, combining one-pointed intention with detachment at the same time, you will have that which you desire… because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self… Attachment… is based on fear and insecurity and the need for security is based on not knowing the true Self. The source of wealth, of abundance or of anything in the physical work is the Self; it is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need. Everything else is a symbol: cars, houses,… Symbols are transitory; they come and go. Chasing symbols is like settling for the map instead of the territory. It creates anxiety; it ends up making you feel hollow and empty inside, because you exchange yourself for the symbol of your Self…Only from detached involvement can one have joy and laughter. Then the symbols of wealth are created spontaneously and effortlessly… To be grounded in this experience (of spontaneous wealth creation) you have to be grounded in the wisdom of uncertainty. In this uncertainty you will find the freedom to create any-thing you want.” Seeking security does not work. No amount of security is enough. “ In ancient wisdom traditions, the solution to this whole dilemma lies in the wisdom of insecurity, or the wisdom of uncertainty. This means that the search for security and certainty is actually as attachment to the know. And what’s the know? The known is our past. The known is nothing other than the prison of past conditioning. There’s no evolution in that – absolutely none at all. And when there is no evolution, there is stagnation, entropy, disorder and decay. ..Relinquish your attachment to the known, step into the unknown, and you will step into the field of all possibilities…This means that in every moment of your life, you will have excitement, adventure, mystery. You will experience the fun of life – the magic, the celebration, the exhilaration and the exultation of your own spirit…When you are attached, your intention gets locked into a rigid mindset and you lose the fluidity, the creativity, and the spontaneity inherent in the field (of all possibilities) (that can orchestrate an infinity of space-time events to bring about the outcome that is intended).  The Law of detachment accelerates the whole process of evolution. When you understand this law, you don’t feel compelled to force solutions. When you force solutions to problems, you create new problems. But when you put your attention on the uncertainty, and you witness the uncertainty while you expectantly wait for the solution to emerge out of the chaos and the confusion then what emerges is something very fabulous and exciting. This …alertness – your preparedness in the present, in the field of uncertainty – meets with your goal and your intension and allows you to seize the opportunity. ” The opportunity contained within every problem that you have in your life. “Good luck is nothing but preparedness and opportunity coming together.”
