Let Go or Get Dragged
One of the office workers, Eva, had a little yellow sticker on her computer, right above her mouse pad. It said, 'Let Go or Get Dragged.'... 'Letting go' has become a buzzword among Buddhists, yoga students and New Agers. But what exactly does it mean? And how do we do it? How do we stop clinging? How do we let go of our compulsions and fixations? And what is the difference between letting go and merely throwing things away?
The secret is this: Letting go means letting things come and go by just letting be. Rather than thinking of liberation at some future time, it can be found through the practice of letting go of little things, oen at a time, here and now. Letting go means learning to lighten up as well as enlightening up. We do this by loosening our tight grip on things and relaxing our tendency to control everything in our environment. If we are unable to do this, we run the risk of being pulled along, or 'dragged,' willy-nilly without conscious awareness. We end up where we would not choose to be...The first step in letting go is self-awareness. How can we begin to practice letting go and letting be when we don't clearly see what we are doing?
We need to be conscious of any tendency we have to be close-fisted and grasping. We need to become aware of all the ways in which we cling to old behaviors and moods. We need to become aware of our vested interest in tired opinions and attitudes; we need to see all the ways in which we are narrow-minded or dogmatic.
