I was blessed to see this beautiful member of Nature this weekend.
I saw this tree which was nude to its soul. No leaves, flowers , fruits or seeds. I have been experiencing the misery of attachment since childhood. I asked the tree “How did you reach this blissful state of detachment ?”
The tree smiled and replied “ These are my four commandments for detachment . They are :
Do not aspire for more than what you have.
Be contented with what you possess.
Let go of what you have to reach the blissful state of emptiness.
The last commandment is to never get attached to the ego which may be an offspring of detachment. Many people including you proclaim to the world that all of you are detached . This thought lights the flame of ego in you . Escape from the clutches of this ego and get detached from detachment.”
The wisdom from the tree drowned me in the calm waters of true detachment.
