Letting go of attachments and expectations from "summary" of BHAGAVAD GITA AS IT IS [NEPALI LANGUAGE]. by A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA. SWAMI PRABHUPADA
Attachment and expectation are two things that can bind us and cause suffering in our lives. When we become attached to certain outcomes or things, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. We are placing our happiness and well-being in the hands of external circumstances, which are often beyond our control. This attachment can lead to feelings of anxiety, frustration, and even anger when things do not go as we had hoped. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches us the importance of letting go of attachments and expectations. He emphasizes the need to perform our duties without being attached to the results. By focusing on the action itself, rather than the outcome, we can free ourselves from the chains of attachment and expectation. When we let go of attachments and expectations, we are able to approach life with a sense of detachment. We can act selflessly, without being swayed by desires for personal gain or recognition. This sense of detachment allows us to find true freedom and inner peace, regardless of the external circumstances. By releasing our attachments and expectations, we are able to surrender ourselves to the will of the divine. We trust that whatever happens is for our ultimate good, even if it may not seem that way at the time. We learn to accept life as it comes, without trying to control or manipulate it to suit our desires. Letting go of attachments and expectations does not mean that we become indifferent or passive. It means that we approach life with a sense of equanimity and acceptance. We are able to face challenges and setbacks with courage and grace, knowing that they are an inherent part of our spiritual journey.- By letting go of attachments and expectations, we can free ourselves from the cycle of suffering and find true peace and contentment in the present moment. Lord Krishna's teachings in the Bhagavad Gita remind us of the importance of living a life of detachment and surrender, guided by the principles of selfless action and devotion.
