Most of us when we talk about being detached we think of to be detached from material things, something tangible. Let’s raise the bar higher today by asking ourselves can I be detached from non-material things?
Let’s review the past postings. Freedom or to be enlightened is to be free. Free from what?
We all know we need to be free from our worldly possessions, from relationships, how about to be free from yourself? Yes that is the non-tangible detachment that I am talking about today.
To be free from who we think we are, to be free from the personality that you think you are, to be free from freedom itself. To think that the spiritual journey ends in your freedom and to be attached to it is also wrong.
We all need to be free from the image that we have in our minds of who we are. That is the next level of work that needs to be done if you wish to experience freedom from freedom itself.
You may say how? What do I mean by detachment from my self? Being attached to your self gives force to your ego self at a very subtle level without you knowing it. As we move closer to our true Self we need to remove this veil that blinds us from our true self. That last veil which covers your inner vision and which you feed on it only to one day realise that is not who you really are.
Then what should you be doing? Remove all unnecessary clutter in your mind of the image you have build in your mind over the many years of your life’s journey on earth and just BE. To be just your natural self without any false pretentious way of behaving or doing things.
If you can realise this unnatural self that dwells in you that you call self you are on your way home. When you exhale your last breath, all the thoughts you have about who you are will dissipate as it is not real. What is real can never be destroyed, that which is not real will vanish just as your thoughts, your desires for material thing and non-material things.
To be in this state of BE requires you to do intense contemplation and be honest to yourself about who you think you are and your attachment to non material things, as true freedom is to be free from freedom itself.
May you be blessed on your journey home to Self.
