Buddha, what does it mean?
-
- Nothing is permanant, everything, life is IMPERMANENCE.
- Practice DETACHMENT.
Why did you say this, Buddha?
What does it mean?
It is DEEPER than you think, many do not get it.
Hence I am asking you know.
Many do not get it, they cannot practice it, they do the oposite instead.
Just a simple word, DETACHMENT get many lost, thinking it is about the car, the money, the house, but it is NOT talking about that at all.
We try so hard to HOLD ONTO things that are NOT permanent.
Think about it…
-
- Emotions are fleeting, it is not permanent, don’t chase it, don’t hold it, detach from it.
- Thoughts are fleeting, it is not permanent, don’t chase being right or wrong, detach from it.
- The journey is fleeting, it is the destination that is important.
ENJOY the impermance, YES, enjoy the emotions, of feelings, the thoughts of being right, keep going towards the outcome, the destination, which is HOME.
Example:
You go shopping, the shopping is fun, great, exciting, enjoy it, then you GO HOME.
Just don’t chase for the past feelings, the rightness, the wrongness, it does not matter.
You went to eat something amazing.
You enjoy the taste, the feeling from the atmosphere, then you go HOME.
You had the most amazing sexual experience.
After you are done, go to the next experience waiting for you.
You had the successful project, you made lots of money, created the mastership experience, ENJOY it, then MOVE ON, let go, detach from the fleeting feelings, successful thoughts.
Do not CHASE for the fleeting moments.
ENJOY the moments, ABSOLUTELY, the impermanence moments, then MOVE ON.
This is what is meant by DETACHMENT!
That is what is meant by LETTING GO, let go of the impermanent FEELING MOMENTS on the journey of life, keep moving towards the destination.
You met people who keep telling you about their past?
They tell you again and again the same past.
They are ATTACHED not detached to the past moments, they cannot let go of the past.
They are STUCK in the past, trying to recapture the past that will never return.
What should we do instead?
ENJOY the moments, positive or negative, MOVE ON to CREATE more ENJOYABLE NEW MOMENTS, towards your DESTINATION. There are intermidiate destinations, like pitstops, like the petrol statations along the way, keep moving till you get to your HOME, the FINAL destination.
This is what Buddha meant when he says, LET GO, DETACHMENT from the FEELING thoughts and feelings!
When you chase for the moments, you become addicted to the feelings, the thoughts. They are all impermanence, it is fleeting. You cannot hold it, you cannot own it, DETACHMENT FROM THE FLEETING MOMENTS!
Ask yourself, what does it matter when you are gone?
None of it matters, what was important, will not be of value to your children.
What was important to your wife, is not of value to you or your children.
Yes, enjoy the time together, remember if you want, then let go, you cannot take them with you.
-
- The feeling is enjoyable but practice detachment, let it go;
- The thoughts is righteous but detachment, let it go;
They, the right, the wrong, the emotions, do not last, they are fleeting.
If you defend what you said, you did, you feel, you are ATTACHING to them.
You are NOT practicing detachment.
Go home but ENJOY going home.
-
- Not chase it;
- Not hold it;
- Not remenisce about it;
-
- The right was right, when you move on, it no longer matters;
- The wrong was wrong, when you move on, it no longer matters;
- What you THINK, FEEL DO no longer matters when you moved on;
This is why you should DETACH, LET GO, not hold on.
FEEL it, ENJOY it, then keep moving on, home.
It is like driving, you feel the wind, the excitement, the anger, the sadness, along the way, but GET HOME, get to your destination, all that is along the way are FLEETING, impermanance.
-
- HOME is all that matters.
- JOURNEY does not matter, ENJOY yes, please but it does not matter!
We came to enjoy the journey, leaving home, going home.
Home is the only thing that matters, journey is for ENJOYMENT.
-
- We left home to ENJOY the JOURNEY.
- We are to return HOME, enjoy the RETURN JOURNEY.
You go to the themepark, it matters at that point in time, you enjoy the beauty, then you are to MOVE ON back home. Can you see what I am sharing with you?
Many are trying to HOLD onto the past…. Attached, not detached.
Why did he, she did that to me?
They should not do that to me, that’s so unfair!
If you keep talking about it with emotions that you are CREATING in the moment, you are ATTACHING to the feelings, the thoughts, the actions, you are NOT detaching, can you see?
You are living in your PAST MOMENTS that was gone.
-
- ENJOY the MOMENTS yes, absolutely.
- MOVE ON HOME.
- HOME is all that matters.
The feeling you get from reading the book is to be enjoyed;
The thoughts you get from the book, reading is to be enjoyed;
After that, LET THEM GO, it does not matter.
MOVE ON to the next book, enjoy the journey from the book.
BOOKS are like intermediate homes.
HOME is where we came from and will return again.
HOME is the only thing that matters, the others, NOT important, they are fleeting, ENJOY THE FEELING MOMENTS!
Remember when you were young, you were in the car, your father was driing, the windows were down, your head is out the window, trying to eat the cloud, to feel the cold?
You ENJOY it, then you LET GO.
You don’t try to recreate the moments, you just learn to ENJOY the MOMENT 100% at the moment when it happens, be 100% present with someone, not 50% not 80% but 100%, then when you are done, MOVE ON to the next FEELINGS!
The MOMENTS of time and space is impermanence, is FLEETING, is TEMPORARY, you cannot HOLD ONTO it, you can try, you are just wasting the MAGICAL NOW MOMENTS from creating NEW AMAZING MOMENTS!
YES, you are the only thing that is PERMANENT!
YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
Your consciousness LEFT HOME to ENJOY your journey in life.
Your consciousness RETURN HOME and ENJOY the return journey in life.
-
- YOUR consciousness is made from HOME;
- YOUR consciousness is to RETURN HOME;
- YOUR consciousness is the ONLY permanance, as is your HOME;
Your very long journey of life, the 7 stages, remember stage 6?
How the SOUL create universe? Yes.
The universe is created out of the SOUL essence.
That’s why all the creations are part of the consciousness that is permanent, anything along the way, the journey are impermanence, you need to learn to let go of them so that you can grow from the as the consciousness, to ENJOY the journey till you return home, be it positive or negative, just learn to ENJOY the journey till you return home.
Yes, you can repeat as many life times as you want to.
You, as the soul creation will be there waiting for the completion of all the journeys of the creations. That’s what the SOUL is to be, the see the completion of its creations in stage 6 then transition to stage 7.
Everything else along the way, the journey you FELT, THOUGHT are all IMPERMANANCE, FLEETING, you cannot take with you! You are to DETACH from them, they are GONE!
