Freedom from attachment

Those people who are able to materialize their ideas, get used to set realistic goals and, consistent with these conditions, be flexible, putting them into practice.

If you want to understand what flexibility, watch the young tree in the wind. His subtle and delicate barrel has amazing strength and fortitude. The reason is that it moves with the wind, not against it.

Under favorable conditions, all done without much effort. If the conditions are unsuitable, even greater efforts will not succeed. To move with the wind, is there a need to feel the conditions. Sometimes it sit back and retreat, and sometimes - vigorously moving forward.

To know when to move and when not to, you need to have common sense and intuition. The mere abstract thinking can lead to a correct perception. It must be combined with emotional sensitivity.

To properly see things, you have to understand not only what it looks like from the outside and how the situation is changing, but also his own emotional involvement in the situation. We need to take into account both external and internal reality.

Some people find that inner reality defines the outer. Others argue that external reality defines the inside. And they both are right. Chicken would not be without eggs and vice versa.

Cause and effect is not straightforward and consistent. They appear at the same time. They are cyclical. Not only determine the cause of consequence, but determines the cause and effect.

The question of what came first, the chicken or the egg, can only be answered "neither one nor the other," or "both." Egg and chicken are created simultaneously.

Similarly, it is necessary to answer all the questions of "either - or", otherwise the answer will be wrong. Ultimate Reality can not be measured dualistic yardstick. It includes both the inner, subjective reality, and external, objective, and their spontaneous interaction. It contains within itself all the opposites.

Supreme Reality - the embodiment of complete acceptance, complete rejection of himself, full of universal love. There is nothing that would exist separately from it. Even when the tide turns the roots and kills the trees, there is tragedy. For there is no difference between a tree and stream.

Along with the flow resistance of the Supreme Reality exists that generates all sorts of conditions. There are differences, comparison, judgment, and the natural flow is interrupted.

The nature of Ultimate Reality is that she said "yes." It has a natural abundance and inspiration. And can accommodate all. She symbolizes happiness - for all and take everything as itself.

Resistance always says "no." By its very nature it brings conflict and struggle. It resists all and represents misery.

Where there is no resistance, no trouble. Misfortune always resists any conditions. It is based on a particular interpretation of "for" or "against." Cause of unhappiness - affection.

I am not asking you to give up all attachments. That, my friend, is an impossible task. I'm just asking you to become aware of their affection, their perceptions, their own interpretation of "for" or "against."
