Best and Inspiring Quotes on Letting go
- Buddha says:
Remember, you have to do much, but the ultimate always happens when you
are not doing anything. It happens in a let-go. PRANIHAN IS the state of
let-go. You do all that you can do; it will help, it will prepare the
ground, but it cannot cause the truth to happen. When you have done
everything that you can do, then relax, then nothing more is left to be
done. In that relaxing, in that let-go, the truth happens. Truth is not
something that we can bring. It comes, it descends, it happens; it is nothing
of your doing.
- To live out of
understanding is compassion. Never try to practice it, simply relax deep
into meditation. Be in a state of let-go in meditation and suddenly you
will be able to smell the fragrance that is coming from your own innermost
depth. Then the flower blossoms and compassion spreads. Meditation is the
flower and compassion is its fragrance.
- Learn the art of
let-go. The light will come not according to your expectations or by any
effort. Every effort will be a great hindrance and every expectation will
create distance between you and the light. In fact forget all about
light.... Just listen to the sound of rain, the sound of wind and enjoy it
with such intensity that in every enjoyment you disappear. Slowly, slowly
one day you will find you are not. That is the greatest moment in a man's
life, because the moment you find you are not, light enters in you. It
waits until you vacate your innermost being. You are too full of yourself;
there is no space for the great light to descend in you.
- Sannyas means
dropping the fight with the river, going with the river, allowing the
river to take you, learning the art of let-go. Those two small, simple
words 'let', 'go', define the very spirit of sannyas. Then one can say
'Let thy kingdom come, thy will be done.' Then one withdraws one's will,
and the moment you withdraw your will your life becomes immensely rich.
Suddenly the whole is with you, and we can be victorious only when the
whole is with us.
- The whole art of
allowing the truth to take possession of you is of being vulnerable, of
being open, of being in a let-go. Or in other words, the whole art
consists of one word, "surrender'. And that's what sannyas is, that's
my definition of a sannyasin: a man who is surrendered to existence so
totally that he never thinks in terms of achievement any more, because he
is no more. Who is there to achieve? -- he has disappeared totally, he has
not left even a trace behind. In that very moment, when you are just a
pure nothingness, truth arrives. It is a gift of God.
- The real master
is only a presence. He has no intentions of being a master. His presence
is his teaching. His love is his message. Every gesture of his hand is
pointing to the moon. And this whole thing is not being done, it is a
happening. The master is not a doer. He has learned the greatest secret of
life: let-go. The master has drowned his ego and the idea of separation
from existence itself.
- The whole art of
religion is nothing but this -- just be, allow, be in a let-go; sitting by
the side of the tree, just sit -- nothing else is needed, just sitting.
Buddha attained to truth just by sitting under the Bodhi Tree. Walking,
just walk. Loving, just love. Being, just be. By and by you start feeling
that within you the fragments arc disappearing, and an integration is
arising. By and by it happens; by and by you start feeling that something
is penetrating you from the unknown, from the beyond. You feel happy. You
feel like a pregnant woman: the unknown has entered you. You don't know
who has come to your womb, you have not seen the face yet, but you can
feel the weight, you can feel the unknown kicking in your womb. You know
the unknown has penetrated you.
- Let-go is the
way to know that you are not the body, but something eternal, immortal.
There is no need of any other religion in the world. Just the simple art
of let-go will turn every human being into a religious person. Religion is
not believing in God, religion is not believing in the pope, religion is
not believing in any ideological system. Religion is knowing that which is
eternal within you: satyam shivam sundram -- that which is the truth of
your existence, that which is your divinity, and that which is your
beauty, your grace, your splendor. The art of let-go is synonymous with
experiencing the immaterial, the immeasurable: your authentic being.
