Power to detach. Consider a tortoise. The moment it senses danger or threat. In a moment, the tortoise withdraws itself completely into its shell. Once the tortoise withdraws, even if an elephant walks over it. Because at the right moment, it withdrew itself from the situation. If it remains entangled in the situation, it can not save itself.
Spirituality means power to detach. We are often apprehensive about the word detachment. We say, “I don't want to go towards spirituality because I don’t want to detach from people” What is the true meaning of detachment? Consider 2 children born, with their bodies physically attached to each other (conjuncted twins). How would their life be? They need to sit together, walk together, sleep together. Is this life comfortable? No. Generally, they are separated through surgery. Once they are physically detached. Even if one of them sits, the other child can continue to stand. Which life is more comfortable? We know what it is.
Now let us look at this at an emotional level. When two people are emotionally attached- if one of them is sad, the other also becomes sad. If one of them is angry, the other also becomes angry. If one of them says something, the other gets upset. It means the state of mind of two people is attached. Is this comfortable? Think about this- one of them is sad, but the other person remains powerful. One of them is angry, the other remains peaceful. One is sad, the other remains happy. By becoming detached we can radiate power to others and pull them out of their sorrow or sadness. For example, consider 4 members of a family going for a walk. There is a pit and one of them falls into that pit. What should the other 3 members do? Should they say, “We love you so much. Since you are in the pit. We will also fall into it.” ? No. The role of those 3 members is to remain outside- which means they remain detached and pull that person out of the pit. This is detachment.
Detachment = unconditional Love, respect, acceptance.
Attachment = Hurt, Insecurity, Rejection,sadness
All of us have experienced sadness because of attachment. Because of the wrong belief system, we feel attachment = love. When we are attached to someone if their one word makes us create hurt. We create such a deep hurt, that we start sending them negative vibrations. So whether it is husband-wife, parent-child, or two friends. At that moment, we are not sending them love. At that moment, we are sending them to hurt. So many times during the day, we radiate hurt to our own family members. Because we are attached to their behaviours. Because we are attached to our expectations of how they should be. “My child should be this way. My child should obey me.” We have so many expectations, that there is no room for acceptance. Since there is no acceptance. It is hurt. And when we feel hurt. We send hurt to them too. If they do something because of which we create worry. Then we send worry to them. Unaware, we send the maximum negative energy to our own family members. We send them Hurt, worry, anxiety for only one reason. We are attached.
The first power of the soul is the power to Detach. The more we engage in spiritual study and meditation. Soul power keeps increasing. The more soul power increases, situations and people’s behaviours will stop influencing us. Right now, as the situation, so is our state of mind. “The situation was such that I had to feel bad,” We say this because we are attached. Attached to situations and attached to people. How the situation is challenging but we are stable. Their behaviour was wrong, but we are stable. This is about being detached and detachment is power. And detachment will emerge divinity.
This is a lesson for the soul, about the art of living. Every morning, if we practice meditation for at least 15 to 20 minutes. What exactly are we doing? We are withdrawing mentally from matters around us, from situations and people. Going away from the outside, connecting to the inside and connecting to the one above. If we practice this every morning. It becomes very easy to do it during the day. If we don't do it in the morning. It becomes slightly difficult to practice during the day. Allocate 15 to 20 minutes every morning, to practice power to withdraw. Which means to be detached from situations, Detach from body consciousness, and practice soul consciousness. Throughout the day also, pause for 1 Minute after every hour. For 1 min after every 59 Minutes. Just withdraw and keep the mind rested. Check the thoughts on your mind. What is going on there? Then create a beautiful thought,” I am a divine soul. I am a powerful soul” Create this thought, be in soul consciousness, and to the scene to perform your things. So withdraw for 1minute and come into action for 59 minutes. This practice keeps increasing our Power to Detach.
