Being in Denmark for some time now makes me understand why its good to love someone intensely but at the same time be detached. Its difficult for people like us to understand , but this is the only way to reduce pain.
Its universally true that one has to leave this body some day or other, this results in utmost pain if its of some one who means a lot to you.
But if love is accompanied by detachment , its easy to understand the truth .
I have been struggling to be normal after my mother left us . May be if I would have followed what people in west follow , I would have been able to perform activates much better . Its not that people in west don’t love there near and dear ones, but may be it’s a detached love. What I am talking about is nothing new, I have hearing and reading this as well and the idea is very much in India as well, but its difficult to follow which is also because of the way our society is setup. We have so close bond with each other and sometimes even at a very old age, the dependency is too much. This results in attachment. Where as here in west, at a very early age its made clear that one is sole responsible for one’s life in every matter. This results in freedom and also makes one detached to some extend. This never means that they don’t love , much since love is accompanied by detachment, there pain is less and is feasible too.
When it comes to leaving body, there is no way we can stop and we are helpless. Then why not to accept this truth that its unavoidable and there is no house which is untouched in the world.
But then why such a painful creation by god???
