Who knows me?

My birth was a mystery. No one could explain exactly the mystery of human creation. Science is doing all but the creator still the only one to open our understanding in this subject. When I was born, many names were given to me. My father has his own ways of calling me and my mother has her preferences.

Siblings have their own labels to recognize me. Some said I look like this person; or I do things like someone else. Everyone did his best to put label on me. So I become a person with different names. It is in my school period that people have given me most names. Every label put on me has it meaning for the owner but not me. And everyone believes that I am the label they have created.

Some of the names represent the social status I was born in, some are refer to the religion of my family, some are the label of the culture I was born into and some from school are relate to the shape of my physical body. Everyone believes that his label created for me describes me well. By doing so, they believe that they know me.  

In reality, none of these names ever describe who I am. They all fail to know my real essence. They lost the precious energy given to them to understand the essence of life. The hiding truth is I am a mirror in which they are observing themselves. Whatever they pictured from the mirror is what they are describing. All the labels were never about me. They don’t know me and I even don’t know myself, because we are all in the lost plane.

The society that supposed to protect and lead me to the path of love hurt me the most. I was fragile and innocent but they did not have any kind of compassion for me. Those that I love betrayed me the most. Those who have the obligation to lead me have left me in the unmerciful jungle of the society.

Judgment will go from right to left. The part of the community where life should be a celebration even though we are learning about life became a horrible jungle. Because some believed that bullying is a right thing to do.  All these happened not because they intentionally want to hurt me but because they themselves are hurting inside.

What happened to us? Why there is no compassion in our action toward each other? Why there is so much hatred in our heart? How have we lost our kindness? Do we fail to hear the cries of human’s heart? Can we not see the pain in mother earth’s face? Are we so blind to see what is happening to us?

The Simple secret of letting go

Along the days of our lives, we’ve been many time advises to let things go, but for most people, the problem is that they don’t know exactly how to let things go. The way it sounds, you will think that it is an easy thing to do. Struggles after struggles, you realize that let go is not quite easy at all. However, the truth is when you have the right data with its appropriate practice, let go become simple.

For the example, when you have the right key for a door, you can open easily that door with no effort. But when you don’t have the key, the door will resist you. In fact, it is not the door resisting, you are the one lacking the right tools you need.  Let go is one of the universal law. And as law, we need to understand the meaning of it before apply it.

The act of letting go means to allow the natural process of creation to be manifested. No need to interfere with the life manifestation. Human mind is only seeing a little portion of life and trying to interfere with something we do not have the full picture of is not necessary.

But from the beginning, through history we have learned how human can throw him/herself in the streaming of life with no regard to the consequences. The problem is today many of us are suffering for unnecessary things. By doing so, we are constantly creating chaos in our own life.

Why is it difficult for us to let go?

What are we missing in the process of let go?

Let us together find out the answer through this simple illustration. Imagine a gentleman named Deva, he is about thirty five years old, well-built and a successful man. He is well respected in his environment. Because of his wealth, he can offer to himself whatever his heart desire to have. He actually lives in a mansion. Even though he has all anyone could ask for, there still an empty hole is his heart. This emptiness cannot be filled up with all that he has and even all that he can imagine.

One day, our dear friend Deva woke up in the midst of earthquake. And the mansion did not survive the cruelty of that earthquake.  The trouble did not stop there; in the same country where he lives, there were economics crises and he lost everything.  He could not believe what is happening to him. He thought he was dreaming.

The shock is too strong for him. Deva became a simple person as everyone in a split of second. Things that were his pride were gone, nothing is left for Deva. Because he could not believe what is happening to him, he is trying every possible ways to hold on things that are no more. Yesterday friends are turning their back on him.

Here is the secret of let go. We do not need to resist anything. What do I mean by that? The thing that is happening has it cause somewhere in the past. You cannot stop the situation to unfold. But you have a power to become a keen observer to transcend the new situation and create something more powerful than before.

Deva has a choice, either stop running behind the past and practice the principle of no resistance or continuous the illusive fight lost in advance. Practice the “let go” will not be easy at first but things will smooth with time. An opportunity to be awakened in the present moment has come in his way. The revelation of new path is hiding in this present moment.

If you ignore the present moment how could you get the answer to solve your situation? The wise does not resist anything. He lives day by day knowing that each day with it matters.  No matter what our friend Deva will do, nothing of his lost will come back.

The problem most are facing is that many have forgotten the reason of their presence on earth. Deva will never imagine that this could happen to him. But it did happen. What’s next? Cry out? The problem is still there looking at you. Who will accept such thing to happen to him?

Deva did not know anything about it. It was not something he planned to happen. But unconsciously he is responsible of what just happened to him. We resist a change in our life because we believe we are losing something great. Why? Because, we do not trust the infinite creativity the creator has put in us. We have created an attachment to our material possession. We believe in scarcity in creativity.

The man of creativity is not afraid of the unknown. In every situation, he knows how to bring about his creativity ability. Nothing is ever been lost. Everything that is happening now in our life should awake us to the reality of the things we are sowing into the universe.

Before seed to become fruit, it passes different stages of transformation. We are so caught up in our daily routine and do not pay attention to the sign life is bringing to us. They were many sign given by life to wake up Deva.

But Deva did not pay attention to those signs. The unfortunate happens in our life because we fail to seize the moment to change things. Now in the midst of trouble, the only thing we know to do is to hold on to things that are stable. We fall with the unstable to create more trouble for ourselves. 

With Love and Peace
