Humorous indeed.. as everything, we even make the process of letting go a conscious strategy of betterment and progress. Our obsession with perfection and our mindless pursuit towards ideal make us arrive at points of ego hyperactivity of letting go. To let go..there must be someone to let go...isn't it? This someone is the ego. This someone is the pride that is ever engaged in a self improvised version of itself. So paradoxically..the commonly used testament of "letting go" also is a fugitive of the mind alone. Renunciation is it's new flavour ..it's new indulgence. True renunciation has nothing to do with objects, people or places. It is the giving up of the personal identity of ownership of those. Awakening brings a new perspective and one can honestly see the sharp intellect playing itself out as the humble saintly being who has renounced. Also letting go cannot be a strategy...but is an occurance ..a ripe fruit that falls off the branch when the moment arrives. Without a fanatasicism for letting go and without a permission of the branch, the fruit drops off. There is no obvious intention at play here and that s what makes it so subtle and natural. The ego is pushy and glamorous and letting go is only one of it's new fad logos. Allow and Be... Don't intend or try to Let go...just Be..and it will drop when it's meant to.
