Fear Of Losing People

People come & people go not just because of death but because of several other factors in life. But there is nothing to be feared because fear is about a possible harm that could happen to us, but if someone goes out of our life, it is only to prevent the harm that is currently happening when they are there with us.

We don’t gain anything from people except experiences & wisdom & looking at the time one has, one cannot have too many people in the closest sphere.

So, once we relate to someone, we bring them closer to us & once we bring someone closer, we start learning & getting influenced a lot from him but a person moves out or we throw him out only because we cannot relate any further to them or vice versa & so there isn’t much left to learn from them as well.

And it’s fine to move out of relations & lose people when we cannot connect, when we cannot relate & because of this only, the possibility of having someone else gets opened up into that circle to connect, relate experience & grow.

Just look back at our life, if we carefully observe, we might never feel like we have lost people, but just outgrown them or gained more.

I have lost a lot of people in my life & I consciously choose to lose more every now & then, not through feuds or disputes but consciously, just because I outgrow them & trust me I feel so much more enriched & every new person who comes into my life, brings a new rainbow, a new beauty.

And there are also people whom we hold on to long, perhaps even for a lifetime because we are able to relate, to connect & to learn from them.

So, there shouldn’t be any fear in losing people, the only fear should be in remaining attached to them.

Everything that we have & call as life, we lose..

We lose people, we lose things, we lose days, we lose feelings, we lose money, we lose time, we lose everything.

In fact life is another name for losing & we gain our true selves, our authentic selves, we realize ourselves only when we lose everything that we currently call as  ‘self’ . This is what all my teachings & meditations are aimed towards & this is what any realized being has inspired & indicated towards.

Once we realize this reality about losing, we do not fear connecting with anyone & we don’t get bothered by losing anything or anyone.

In fact we are able to accept everything that comes our way unruffled & unaffected .

If we realize the beauty of aloneness, we do not fear togetherness because even when we are with someone, we are tremendously alone within.

I love being with people & I love being without them, it’s the same to me.

Life is a saga of losing, lose yourself if you really want to know yourself.

Losing isn’t negative, unnecessarily holding onto is negative.

Be open, explore, experiment, introspect & change, this is the only way we evolve.
