A saint once said, "Compassion with Detachment, is nothing but bodily attachment".
What makes the state of being in Detached Attachment difficult is the expectations we carry with ourselves to get expected results for every action we do.
The sorrows and miseries come when those expectations fail to materialize.
Be it your job, where you gave your 101%, yet didn't fetch you promotion or recognition.
Or , Be it your examination, where you studied hard for most difficult subject yet didn't get satisfactory results.
Or, Be it unmatched efforts from the person and family member you love the most.
Or, Be it unfulfilled desires of luxurious apartment with nice car.
The insecurity and fear of not being respected in society, puts you through stressful situation.
This stress not only reduces your productivity but also opens door to self-doubts, ill-health, mental disturbance and all negativity.
When you consider yourself the doer of everything, it is bound to happen that you will be stressed about results. When you place yourself as the custodian of successful meeting of expectations, you are bound feel bogged down by the uncertainties and unfulfilled goals.
When you surrender to the absolute custodian of everything, the God Almighty, you are set free from the burden of the outcomes.
Surrender with gratitude.
Tera tujhko sop diya, kya lage hai mera.
Doing your best, keeping no stone unturned to achieve your dreams, yet not allowing yourself to get attached with the results and surrendering the results in the hands of the Creator leads to Detached Attachment, a gateway to happiness!
Very well said ... What ever may this moment, the best or worst - just remember "even this will pass away" :)
