Fear of losing people

People come & people go not just coz of death but coz of several other factors in life.
But that is nothing to be feared because fear is about the possible harm that can happen to you, but if someone goes out of your life, it’s only to prevent the harm that is currently happening when they are there with you.
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 U relate to someone, U bring him closer to you & once U bring someone closer, U start learning & getting influenced a lot from him but a person moves out or you throw him out only because you cannot relate any further to him or vice versa & so there isn’t much left to learn from him as well.
So it’s fine to move out of relations & lose people when U cannot connect when you cannot relate because this then opens the possibility of having someone else into that circle to connect, relate experience & grow.
Just look back at your life, if U carefully observe, you might never feel like U 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
& there are also people whom you hold on to long, perhaps even for a lifetime because you are able to relate, to connect & to learn from them.
so there shouldn’t be any fear of losing people, the only fear should be in remaining attached to them.
Everything that we have & call 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 ‘self’. This is what all my teachings & meditations are aimed towards & this is what any realized being has inspired & indicated towards.
Once you realize this reality about losing, U do not fear connecting with anyone & U don’t get bothered by losing anything or anyone.
In fact, U are able to accept everything that comes your way unruffled & unaffected.
If U realize the beauty of aloneness, U do not fear togetherness because even when you are with someone, you 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 you evolve.
