The first time I read about Deepak Chopra’s Detachment I was about confused on what he really meant but as I meditated on this and continued to live my life I discovered that to detach yourself from any entangled situation that comes along as we live on is a very powerful tool to enjoy the beauty of life.
To detach is particularly effective when one is in deep sorrow or grief for the loss of a loved one.
When my English fiancé, Colin died of cancer my grief was so deep I never wanted to live anymore in fact I got bedridden of depression. In my own strength, it was impossible for me to get out from such grief but then I remember the book of Deepak Chopra that I had read many years back and the principle that reminded me was on detachment.
To detach is a function of the mind and the heart. A detached person does not take the issues of life seriously as if it is his responsibility to please everybody and to care deeply for them. There is a sense of assertiveness where you know what to think, feel, say and act in the right way as a situation comes up. To detach is to have control over your emotions and flow of thinking as well as actions with the philosophy that you can only do what you are capable of doing. You don’t allow or force yourself to worry about something that is beyond your control. Others would call it just let God and let go.
This is easier said than done because there are a lot of complex situations in life that cause a person to explode especially in the matters of relationship and job situations. Also, when you have a dream to improve your life in terms of financial conditions, there could be lots of perplexing forceful situations that stress you in a moment by moment basis.
In the case where your dreams to improve your life situation seem impossible to come true the best thing to do is to detach yourself emotionally and mentally and let your faith work. Unburden yourself from the heavy loads caused by your dreams. You can still honor your desires and once you are done completing the details of your dreams the next thing to do is to let go, give it to the Spirit world, to the Universe, to God and forget about it. Your soul will do the work for you and you will just be surprised one day that your forgotten dream had finally come true.
