Peace, love, music , poetry, meditation , journey, nature, 31 I write and post on what interests me , anything throughout my journey. "Mind and body have taken the journey, but the real home place is your own heart. It is infinite. And so wherever you go, you are always home.”

I want to be the reason you smile.

The reason you blush .

The reason your heart rate speeds up

I want to be the brightness in your day .

The reason you look forward to at the end of a shift .

The reason you radiate to others

I want to be your knight in shining armor

The savior to your soul

The love you have always wanted .

I want to be the reason you want to push in life

The reason you do better

The light at the end of your tunnel

I want you and that’s the biggest thing of all

You are all the above to me

And wish it to me the same

Sometimes it’s really not you it’s actually them

The Joy of Detachment

Detachment is an often advised quality to cultivate on the spiritual way. But this advice is frequently misunderstood as remaining cold, aloof, and indifferent toward life. It is anything but.

Real detachment may be recognized by the arising of joy. Detachment, happiness, and contentment are one and the same.

Suppose you really love strawberries and currently have a massive craving for strawberries. It just so happens that you discover a fresh and beautiful carton of these berries in your refrigerator. So you sit down and savor them, one by one.

Someone comes and offers you chocolate, soda, popcorn, all sorts of snacks. But you don’t feel any desire toward any of that because you are so filled with your enjoyment of the strawberries. That is like true detachment.

But that detachment doesn’t come because of strawberries, or anything for that matter. It comes when you discover that your happiness, your peace, your joy, are nothing else but your Self and it is found nowhere else but within.

Then detachment naturally happens toward the transient play of this world and body. It doesn’t mean that you have distain for them or aloofness or rejection. It simply indicates that you are no longer seeking the right things in the wrong places.

In your own company, before mind, body, and ego, shines the company of all beings as the Self; One without a second. Therein is always peace, freedom, and happiness.

This doesn’t mean that you don’t have compassion and love toward the people you meet and the events in life, but you do not depend on them for any form of happiness. Then you can really enjoy what comes since there is no element of need or insecurity involved.

Practice detachment. Remind yourself that all of this need not be taken as the end all be all of existence. Go within, practice meditation and mindfulness throughout your day. Discover the joy that is your awareness endlessly beholding itself.

Then detachment is found to be a blessing beyond all blessings.

Namaste, sangha.
