to Amarnath about letting go of things

[Guest guest]

Dear Amarnath ~ these two posts resonated deeply with me. Because of two

moves within the past two years, the most recent being from a two bedroom loft

to a one bedroom loft, I have had to let go of possessions. One of the first I

had trouble with was a handmade fabric " painting " of a teacup on a table by a

window. I had given it to my mother as a gift. For a reason I cannot

comprehend it was one of many such items that my stepfather sent to me after

her

death. This, of course, raised a lot of pain, as I still have not allowed

myself

to grieve for my mother. I felt it would have been kinder to have thrown it

away.

 

This decision plagued me for several months. I considered giving it to my

aunt as a gift, but that didn't feel right. I wasn't ever going to hang it in my

living space. So I went on, confused and with a knot in my stomach. Then one

day as I walked past it, a " voice " in my ear said, " It has fulfilled its

purpose. " Was this Ammachi whispering into my ear? I feel that it was because

at

that moment, I became released from any attachment and was able to let it go.

 

Since then as I have had to continue to pare down to fit the objects that

once fit into a two bedroom into a one, and sometimes it hasn't been easy. Then

I ask myself, " is this necessary " ? I hear the " it's purpose has been

fulfilled, " and the letting go process has become more and more easy. How much

power

in a phrase whispered into my ear by Amma...

Jai Ma !

0398. " The moment of revelation that has occurred to many great souls can

happen to you as well. Everybody is being prepared to reach this final state

of dropping all worldly attachments, all ego. It must happen because that is

the final stage of evolution. You cannot avoid it. Consciously or

unconsciously, you may try to avoid it today, but sooner or later you are going

to

lose your grip on everything, possessions, wealth, body, all that you claim as

your own. " - Awaken Children Vol.6, p16

 

0399. " The final destiny for all souls is the dropping away of every

obstruction to peace and contentment. When that moment comes, the ego is

dropped,

and you won't struggle any more. You will neither protest, nor will you even

pause to think whether you should let go or not. You will just bow down and

surrender. Deep within, every soul is waiting for this great letting go to

happen. Most people do not feel this now because their awareness is so low,

but that urgency will come one day. " - Awaken Children Vol.6, p16
