विसृजतु वा त्याग - Let Go and Sacrifice

विसृजतु वा त्याग - Let Go and Sacrifice

Visrijatu va Tyāga 

Let go is completely different from give up.  Vjsrjnath also means immerse, dissolve, nullify.  Tyaga means sacrifice or renunciation.  Tyaga also means let go, free ourselves from any kind of attachment, objectively.

The words "let go" and "give up" may seem similar, but they have distinct and different meanings.  "letting go" signifies releasing something that is no longer serving you, often with a sense of acceptance and moving forward, while "giving up" implies quitting or ceasing effort due to perceived inability to succeed, often stemming from fear or frustration.  "Let go" is a more positive act of liberation, while "giving up" is like defeat. 

There are two aspects in life, one is subjective and the other is the objection.  The one is you and the other.  You vs other, or other than you.  We are subjects.  First we need to understand our own self then the question arises about understanding others.

Life is more subjective than objective.  It appears objective but it really is subjective, revolving around you and you alone.  The whole purpose of we being born here is to first know who we really are.  We have come as unknown and knowing about ourselves should be the main objective in life.  You have to let go of all the objective things you had acquired in your possession up until now and only and only concentrate on your selves.  It appears selfish but that is how it is.  Realizing who we are, what we are, and what our role is in this existence, the purpose behind our coming to this earth is what we really have to pursue in this life to make it a worthwhile life or living the rightful life.

All of us are born with eyes, so we have sight, but unless we have insight and foresight, we cannot get confidence on ourselves or self confidence to pursue life or living.  Unless you renounce objective things you had acquired all through your life and come clean of all this you will not be ready for the spiritual journey of your life to know the real spirit which is deep inside your being.

Understanding oneself will open up the possibility of understanding the whole.  The whole concept of life and living can be understood once you understood about your own self completely.  It starts from you and ends outside of your self.  You will become self less and you become the whole of it.  The river joining the sea and in the process becoming the sea itself.  Becoming one with the Brahma and achieving Moksha, liberation from the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, and emerging out of your body and merging with the universal soul or universal consciousness also called Brahman.  It is attaining the complete oneness with the divine.

हं ब्रह्मास्मि Aham Brahmasmi is a Sanskrit phrase.  It is the main or central concept in Advaita Vedanta philosophy in Hinduism.   The phrase expresses the idea that the individual self is identical to the ultimate reality, and that one's true essence is part of the universal consciousness.

If you let go of oneself completely then it is possible for one to express I am the absolute or Aham Brahmasmi.  I am one with the whole existence and I am no more a separate entity, I am the existence itself.  I have dissolved my self to become the sea of existence.

Spirituality is the marga towards understanding and realizing about our own self.


Let go your self Merge with the Whole

Do not be apart, Be a part of the Whole and the Whole itself

Celebrate Life, Enjoy Every Moment of Your Existence
