Letting go is the natural surrender of the human mind to
any involuntary reactivity aimed at removing anything that might threaten or
undermine the comfort zones in our lives . Letting go should be a natural
instinct, and not a technique that one has to learn and master; it is simply a
spontaneous human ability to give up all human attachments that create the
unreal world.
“People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.
Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.” Thich Nhat Hanh
It is letting go, and not holding on, that makes us
strong because it overcomes the fear of the unknown and the unpredictable. Let
go of yesterday to live in today as if everything is amiracle;
let go of the world to have the universe.
Tao
wisdom is profound human wisdom that requires self-intuition to have greater
understanding of the Creator, who is in control of everything created by Him;
this further understanding may be instrumental in enhancing human wisdom.
Tao wisdom begins with having an empty mind that may help you let go of all attachments to the material world..
"An empty mind with no craving and no
expectation helps us letting go.
Being in the world and not of the world, we attain
heavenly grace.
With heavenly grace, we become pure and selfless.
And everything settles into its own perfect
place."
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, chapter
3)
“Letting go is emptying the mundane,
to be filled with heavenly grace.
Blessed is he who has an empty mind.
He will be filled with knowledge and wisdom from the
Creator.”
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, chapter 9)
