"करुणा ही प्रेम है ; सेवा ही धर्म है"

Distance is the Destiny !!

Remember when we wished for a toy in childhood only to get bored of it? 

Either we eventually receive what we want only to get detached or do not receive it only to forget about it. If both are not happening ; toh picture abhi baki hai mere dost!!

No matter what you set your heart upon, one fine day, your heart would jump to another desire! The pain and pleasure cycle becomes inevitable.

Where does the peace lie then? Peace is in letting go….! Peace is in to stop fighting to achieve anything! Peace is in silence! Peace is in sound of nature!! Peace is where talks fade away and sleeps take over the space! 

When you meet a bunch of people who trigger your disappointments, anger takes over the mind.  Even if you choose to stay silent, a part of your heart would want to scream out defending yourself.  But when the patience in your mind would be greater than those triggers, you would learn to forgive and understand that people are reacting due to their set patterns and programming. Not necessarily immediately but eventually if you keep practicing that patience.

What we practice becomes our emotional pattern. Emotional patterns take time to build but their impacts are massive as they become an emotional code which autoplays itself. We start reacting to the situations and people based on those emotional patterns. 

One such emotional pattern is the desire to possess or own or the desire to consume. Desires are inherent in every organism, however, once the desire is satisfied, the heart would detach itself from the satisfied desire to move to the next desire. 

This is like trying to fill water in a sieve and to wonder like why the pot is empty.  There is no pot! Those materialistic desires are like filling a sieve believing like it’s a pot. 

Where the solution of endless mental turmoil lies then? 

Sages suggested : Detachment! 

Detachment from the outcome of efforts. Detachment from the expectations attached to the loved ones!  Detachment from appreciation and acceptance! Detachment from the emotional validation!

Distancing yourself creates an initiation point for the detachment! 

Detachment gives the power to let go!

And finally letting those set expectations go brings peace!
