Letting Go

Letting go is allowing things to be. We observe, we acknowledge, we know, but we don’t cling to it.

Wanting things to be this way or that way is clinging to becoming (Bhava Tanha).

Not wanting things to be a certain way is clinging to non-becoming (Vibhava Tanha).

Letting go is just letting things be what they are, without any expectation for them to be otherwise. Letting go allows one to stop – stop from running after the never-ending desires: I want this, I want that, I want to be this and that…….

When one lets go, one stops struggling. One who lets go is at peace.
